Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps im not very sure tho
in a US gallon, there are approximately 3.79 Liters, in a Liter there are 1000 milliLiters, so 3.79 Liters is then 3.79 * 1000 milliLiters, namely 3790 milliliters.
since a gallon is then approximately 3790 mL, how many times does 5mL go in to 3790? 3790 ÷ 5 = 758.
since the child uses 5mL in 1 day, then 758 times that is 758 days.
Answer:
the solution is (-3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please, separate your equations with a (;) or a (.). Better yet, write only one equation per line:
y=2x+4
3x−6y=3
Substitute 2x + 4 for y in the second equation:
3x - 6(2x + 4) = 3, or
3x - 12x - 24 = 3
Combining like terms, we get -9x = 27, and so x = -27/9, or x = -3.
Since we know that y=2x+4, we replace x in this equation with -3 and calculate y:
y = 2(-3) + 4 = -2
Then the solution is (-3, -2).
