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
To solve, isolate the x. Cross multiply
3/13(13)(5) = x/5(5)(13)
3(5) = (13)x
Simplify
13x = 15
Isolate the x. Divide by 13.
13x/13 = 15/13
x = 15/13
x = 1.2
1.2 is your answer

Answer:
A fraction bar labeled 1. Under the 1 are 2 boxes containing one-half. Under the 2 boxes are 4 boxes containing one-fourth. 2 one-fourths are circled.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
boys = 250
girls = 150
Step-by-step explanation:
5g = 3b eq. 1
g + b = 400 eq. 2
g = girls
b = boys
From the eq. 2
g = 400 - b
Replacing this last eq. on eq. 1:
5(400-b) = 3b
5*400 + 5*-b = 3b
2000 - 5b = 3b
2000 = 3b + 5b
2000 = 8b
2000/8 = b
250 = b
From eq. 2
g + 250 = 400
g = 400 - 250
g = 150
Check:
from eq. 1
5*150 = 3*250 = 750
