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:
i hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
if you have 100 people in the room and you interviewed all of them, (for number 6). that means that 70% of these people ate breakfast
70% of the total amount of people you interviewed is 70. That means that 70 people you interviewed, eat breakfast.
Then it also says, "of those 70% of people, 25% eat cereal"
That means 25% of those 70 people eat cereal, or 1/4 of that population does.
0.25 * 70 = 17.5. (of course you cannot have part of a person, but this is an example)
and of the 17.5 people, 30% of them eats it with extra sugar.
so 30% of 17.5 people is 5.25.
that means that there are 5.25 people who eat cereal with extra sugar.
i hope this helps, it took a while for me to try to help with this
i noticed that you made a mistake. the amount of people that eat cereal is 25% of 70% of the people. that means you have to find 0.25 of 0.7 <--- (you multiply not divide)
(0.25x 0.7) = 0.175

the answer is going to be 660 cm
Answer:
x = 37
Step-by-step explanation:
Power Theorem: 10 x (10 + 26) = 8 x (8 + x)
360 = 8 x (8 + x)
8 + x = 45
x = 37
1. Would be 58/11
Because we convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, 5x11+3/11. We then would multiple the numbers with gives us 55+3/11. We add that giving us 58/11
