Alex Ar [27]3 years ago

Call the smaller of the two odds = n

Call the next number in the sequence = n + 2

n*(n +2) = 782           Remove the brackets.

n^2 + 2n = 782          Subract 782 from both sides.

n^2 + 2n - 782 = 0    We are going to have to factor this.

Discussion

This problem can't be done the way it is written. The product of an odd integer with another odd integer is and odd integer. There are no exceptions to this. So you need to give a number that has two factors very near it's square root for this question to work.

For example, you could use 783, (which factors) instead of 782 .

Solve

n^2 + 2n - 783 = 0

(n + 29)(x - 27) = 0

<u>Solution One</u>

n - 27 = 0

n = 27

The two odd consecutive integers are 27 and 29.

<u>Solution Two</u>

n + 29 = 0

n = - 29

The two solution integers are -29 and - 27 Notice that - 29 is smaller than - 27.

How do you find the total amount given the percentage of a partial amount
Kay [80]

The whole value can be found by using a phenomenon known as proportion

What is percentage?

A figure or ratio stated as a fraction of 100 is called a percentage. Although the abbreviations "pct.", "pct.", and occasionally "pc" are also used, the percent symbol, "%," is frequently used to indicate it. A % is a number without dimensions and without a measurement system.

Now we are given a percent p of a value let us say x and that value be v

We have to find the initial value let us say that value to be 'P'

To find that we use proportion

That is ratio of value to their respective percentage will be equal

Hence we will have

P/100 = v/ x

P= (v/x)*100

Hence we get the initial value
