Answer: 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the consecutive odd numbers be represented by x and x+2. Therefore,
x × (x+2) = 483
x² + 2x = 483
x² + 2x - 483 = 0
x² + 23x - 21x - 483 = 0
x(x + 23) - 21(x + 23) = 0
(x - 21) = 0
x = 0 + 21
x = 21
The smaller integer is 21
The larger integer is 21 + 2 = 23.
You need to get x alone on one side. You need to divide 1/2 on both sides which makes 13 a 26. x<26

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide so you get a decimal. 1/2 = 0.5. 2/3 = 0.666
0.666 > 0.5
So 1/2 is less than 2/3
