I'll say the first integer is x. The next consecutive odd number would be x+2. If the sum of the odd integers is 236, the equation would be
x + (x + 2) = 236
solve for x
2x + 2 = 236
subtract 2 from each side of the equation
2x = 234
divide both sides by 2
x = 117
117 is the first odd integer. to find the other integer (x + 2), substitute 117 for x, and you have 117 + 2, which equals 119
The two consecutive odd integers that add up to 236 are 117 and 119.

Pedro has twice as many carrots as Martha, who has the same number of carrots as Oliver. If Pedro gives 5 carrots to Oliver, the

choli [55]

"Pedro has twice as many carrots as Martha:"
p = 2m
<span>
"If Pedro gives 5 carrots to Oliver,"
p - 5 (</span>Oliver is irrelevant.)<span>

"then Martha has 3 times as many carrots as Pedro"
</span>
m = 3(p - 5)

We know p in terms of m, so substitute it in:
m = 3(2m - 5)

Distribute the 3:
m = 6m - 15

Subtract 6m from both sides:
m-6m=-15
Combine variable terms:

-5m=-15

Divide out -5

m = -15/-5

m = 3

The answer is c) 3

Kelly should get back $6.72.

To get this answer, start by adding 16.79 and 28.49. The answer you should get is 45.28. Next, subtract 45.28 from 50 and your total should be 6.72. Hope this helped!
