Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive odd numbers be represented by x and x+2. Therefore,

x × (x+2) = 483

x² + 2x = 483

x² + 2x - 483 = 0

x² + 23x - 21x - 483 = 0

x(x + 23) - 21(x + 23) = 0

(x - 21) = 0

x = 0 + 21

x = 21

The smaller integer is 21

The larger integer is 21 + 2 = 23.

Write the equation of a line in point slope form that is PARALLEL 5x + 2y = 1 that passes through the point (- 2, - 3) .
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

y = -5/2x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find the slope of the original equation

Subtract 5x from both sides

5x + 2y = 1

- 5x         - 5x

2y = -5x + 1

Divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = (-5x + 1)/2

y = -5/2x + 1/2

The slope of this equation is -5/2, so -5/2 has to be in our new parallel equation

y = -5/2x + b

Plug in the given x and y

-3 = -5/2(-2) + b

-3 = 10 + b

Subtract 10 from both sides

-3 = 10 + b

- 10  - 10

b = -13

This makes our equation: y = -5/2x - 13

Demarco substitutes a value for x in the equation 2x = 4.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

If both sides are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

If both sides are equal and are the same in both sides of the equation, than it is a solution.

For instance, the solution for 2x = 4, is x = 2 because 2(2) = 4 is 4 = 4.
