Let x be the first odd number.
Second odd number will be x+2
Proof:
If 3 (was) the first odd number, 3+2 would be the next which is 5.
So,
(x) (x+2) = 99
xsquare + 2x = 99
xsquare +2x - 99 = 0
xsquare +11x - 9x -99 = 0
x(x +11) -9(x + 11) = 0
(x+11) (x-9) = 0
So the two odd numbers were 9 and 11
Answer:
6.75 $
Step-by-step explanation:
25%
= 25 / 100
= 1 / 4
25% of $ 27
= ( 1 / 4 ) x ( 27 )
= ( 1 x 27 ) / 4
= 27 / 4
= 6.75 $
When you multiply both sides by a negative value you make the side that is greater have a "bigger" negative number, which actually means it is now less than the other side! This is why you must flip the sign whenever you multiply by a negative number.
