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.

P is the incenter of △JKL. Find m∠JKP.<br> &amp; can you please explain
dangina [55]

Answer:

  • m∠MKP = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Incenter is the intersection of angle bisectors.</u>

  • ∠MJP = ∠OJP, ∠MKP = ∠NKP, ∠NLP = ∠OLP

<u>First find the value of x:</u>

  • 7x - 6 = 5x + 4
  • 7x - 5x = 4 + 6
  • 2x = 10
  • x = 5

<u>Find the angle MJP:</u>

  • 7*5 - 6 = 29°

<u>We know sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Using this find the missing angle measure:</u>

  • 2*m∠MJP + 2*m∠NJP + 2*m∠MKP = 180°
  • m∠MJP + m∠NJP + m∠MKP = 90°
  • 29° + 26° + m∠MKP = 90°
  • m∠MKP = 90° - 55°
  • m∠MKP = 35°

Solve for x 3x + 3 - x + (-7) &gt;6
PSYCHO15rus [73]
I think it is x > 5 because if you combine like terms you would get 2x-4>6 then you add 4 To 6 which is 10 then you do 10÷2 which is 5
