Answer:

37 smallest number

Step-by-step explanation:

If your integer is x

The next 5 odd integers are:

x+2

x+4

x+6

x+8

x+10

x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10=252

6x+30=252

6x=252-30

6x=222

x=222/6

x=37

Solve using quadratic formula<br> 6x^2-x=2

Nadya [2.5K]

$6x^2-x=2\implies 6x^2-1x-2=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{6}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-1}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-2}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}$

$x = \cfrac{ -(-1) \pm \sqrt { (-1)^2 -4(6)(-2)}}{2(6)}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{1+48}}{12} \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{49}}{12}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm 7}{12}\implies x = \begin{cases} \frac{8}{12}\to &\frac{2}{3}\\[1em] -\frac{6}{12}\to &-\frac{1}{2} \end{cases}$
