Answer:
11, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
an odd number can be represented by 2n+1
since they are consecutive, the larger odd number will be 2n + 1 + 2
now,
2(2n+3) = 2n + 1 +15
solving this eqn, we get n = 5
so the two numbers are (2n+1) = 11 and 11+2= 13
There are 81 girls to every 72 boys in total, which can be represented by 81/72, which put into decimal form, is 1.125. If you then take the number of boys in the group, 16, and multiply it by this number (because the problem states that the ratio is constant) you can find the number of girls in the group.
16*1.125=18
So there are 18 girls in a group with 16 boys.
If you mean how do you get x by it's you divide both sides by 8, to cancel out the multiplication between x and 8, meaning that it would end up being x=7, sorry if that didn't answer your question correctly.
Answer:
n=-14
Step-by-step explanation:
2n+18-n=-10-n
n+18=-10-n
+n +n
2n+18=-10
-18 -18
2n=-28
/2 /2
n=-14
