Call the smaller of the two odds = n
Call the next number in the sequence = n + 2
n*(n +2) = 782 Remove the brackets.
n^2 + 2n = 782 Subract 782 from both sides.
n^2 + 2n - 782 = 0 We are going to have to factor this.
Discussion
This problem can't be done the way it is written. The product of an odd integer with another odd integer is and odd integer. There are no exceptions to this. So you need to give a number that has two factors very near it's square root for this question to work.
For example, you could use 783, (which factors) instead of 782 .
Solve
n^2 + 2n - 783 = 0
(n + 29)(x - 27) = 0
<u>Solution One</u>
n - 27 = 0
n = 27
The two odd consecutive integers are 27 and 29.
<u>Solution Two</u>
n + 29 = 0
n = - 29
The two solution integers are -29 and - 27 Notice that - 29 is smaller than - 27.
The answer would be n = 1

Answer:
The equation that represent x, the height of the sign is;
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the area of the triangular yield is A square feet
and it has a base length of 3 feet.
also the height is represented by x;
Recall that the area of a triangle can be written as;
substituting the given;
Therefore, the equation that represent x, the height of the sign is;
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that a factor is a number that can divide a number and return a whole number as the quotient.
In this case, 91 / 7 = 13
So 7 is a factor
