The LCM for 4 and 9 is 36
the answer is 42.77...........................................
Answer:
n = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the brackets.
1/2n - 2 - 3 = 3 - 2n - 3
Add or subtract terms.
1/2n - 5 = -2n
Add 5 and 2n on both sides.
1/2n + 2n = 5
5/2n = 5
Multiply both sides by 2/5.
n = 5 × 2/5
n = 10/5
n = 2
The difference between consecutive integers is 1.
Let x = smaller integer.
Then x + 1 is the next greater consecutive integer.
x(x + 1) = 132
x^2 + x - 132 = 0
(x + 12)(x - 11) = 0
x + 12 = 0 or x + 11 = 0
x = -12 or x = -11
Since x is the smaller of the two integers, the answers are:
-12, -11
11, 12
There are two pairs of such integers.
