Answer:

<h3>             5</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

z -  any integer

2z+1 - any odd integer (the smaller one)

2z+1+2 = 2z+3 - odd integer consecutive to 2z+1  (the larger one)

2(2z+1)    - twice the smaller number

2(2z+1) - 1    - one less than twice the smaller number

2(2z+1) - 1 = 2z + 3

4z + 2 - 1 = 2z + 3

2z = 2

 z = 1

2z+3 = 2•1+3 = 5

check:

2z+1 = 2•1+1 = 3,  

2(2z+1)-1 = 2(2•1+1)-1 = 2•3-1 = 5 = 2z+3

Jonathan can jog 3 2/5 miles in 7/8 hour. find his average speed in miles
Aloiza [94]
Average speed = dist/time
v = (17/5) ÷ (7/8)
v = (17/5) x (8/7)
v = (17 x 8) ÷ (5 x 7)
v = 136 ÷ 35
v= 3 + (31/35)
v = 3 31/35
