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.
Answer:
Your answer will be D. He knows that 30 × 16 is 5 then multiples 5 by 5 to get 25.
Answer:
8x - 14 = 5x + 34 (alternate exterior angles)
8x - 5x = 34 + 14
3x = 48
x = 48/3
x = 16
5y + 16 + 8x - 14 = 180 (linear pair)
5y + 16 + 8(16) - 14 = 180
5y + 16 + 128 - 14 = 180
5y + 130 = 180
5y = 180 - 130
5y = 50
y = 50/5
y = 10
∠ (8x - 14) = 114 [(8 × 16 -14)=114]
∠ (5x + 34) = 114 [(5 × 16 +34)=114]
∠ (5y + 16) = 66 [(5 × 10 +16)=66]
hope this helps you!
Step-by-step explanation:
To write 5 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by 55 . Combine 5 and 55 . Combine the numerators over the common denominator. Simplify the numerator.
<span>No.
To check this yourself, you need the denominators to be the same to be able to easily compare the two.
For example, does 5/8 = 40/64?
1. Determine what you would need to do to the denominator in 5/8 to make it 64. (Multiply it by 8)
2. Find what fraction is equal to 1 with a denominator of 8. (8/8)
3. Multiply the fraction 5/8 by the one you just found (8/8), numerator times numerator, denominator times denominator.
4. Compare the answer with the second fraction.
It is important that when you multiply the denominator by any number you multiply the numerator by the same number. This is to preserve the fraction's value. This works because any number divided by itself is equal to 1, AND when you multiply any number by 1 (whether 1 is in the form of 1 or 4/4 or 8/8 or 234/234), the answer is always equal to the original number.
Another way to check would be to simply enter 1/2 into a calculator, write down the answer. Next enter 5/8 into a calculator. If the answers are the same, they are equal.</span><span>
