Let's x represents the first odd integer
The next consecutive integer would be represented as x+2.
So x and x+2 being multiplied together will give us 1443:
(x)(x+2)=1443
x^2+2x=1443
x^2+2x-1443=0
By solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x will equal to 37 and -39.
Since the problem says "integers", so I'm assuming two pairs of consecutive integers would be ok.
With that said you 1st pair will be: 37,39
Your second pair will be: -37,-39.
Answer:
40/3, 172/3, respectively
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 9 = 2y
2x = 2y + 2
x + 9 = 2(2x - 2)
4x - 4 = x + 9
3x - 13 = 0
x = 13/3
y = 40/6
RT = 13/3 + 9 = 40/3
QS = 160/3 + 4 = 172/3
