Answer:

This statement will always be true practically.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the odd number be:

=2x - 1

So the next odd will be:

= 2x + 1

Now for getting sum of two odd numbers we will add them:

= (2x -1)+(2x + 1)

Opening brackets:

= 2x -1 +2x +1

A dding like terms, Both 1's  will be cancelled out

= 4x

Now this proves that adding two odd numbers will deduce to a result which will always a multiple of 4

Hence proved.

I hope it will help you!

4x – 4 – 3x > 13 – 7x – 1 + 8
Rashid [163]
If you would like to solve the inequation 4 * x - 4 - 3 * x > 13 - 7 * x - 1 + 8, you can do this using the following steps:

4 * x - 4 - 3 * x > 13 - 7 * x - 1 + 8
4 * x - 3 * x + 7 * x > 4 + 13 - 1 + 8
8 * x > 24      /8
x > 24/8
x > 3

The correct result would be x > 3.

The strings cost $14. you would take the total cost ($72) and subtract the cost of the book ($16) and you would get $56. you would then divide 56 by the number of book bought (4 in all) and you would get $14.

Write the fractional equivalent (in reduced form) to each number 30 points
tankabanditka [31]
Correct answers are:

1)    1/3 (NOT 3/10).  .3 repeating is not 3/10, 3/10 is .3.
2)    1/8.  To solve, .125 has three places, so use 1000.  1000/125 is 8, that is your denominator.  125/125 is 1 is your numerator.
3)    1/6 (divide 100/16, which is 6 ¼ - round to 6.  If you carry this out to 1,000,000/166,667, it is very close to 6.
4)    1/10
5)    2/3 (NOT 3/5)
6)    1/5 (2/10 reduced to 1/5)
7)    3/4 (75/100 reduced)
