2 consecutive odd integers.....x and x + 2.....the product means multiply....the sum means add.
x(x + 2) = 4(x + x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 4(2x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 8 - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 7
x^2 + 2x - 8x - 7 = 0
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0
x - 7 = 0 x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
x = 7
x + 1 = 0 x + 2 = -1 + 2 = 1
x = -1
there can be 2 answers for this....
(1) 7 and 9
(2) -1 and 1

Answer:
2/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numerator and denominator be x/x
10/12÷x/x=5/6
10x/12x=5/6
x/x=5/6÷10/12
x/x=5/6×12/10
x/x=2/2
Therefore the numbers are 2/2
