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

Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points): <br> 2x^2 + 7x - 9 = -3
Tanya [424]
Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes 2x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                              x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
                              x = [ -7 ± √(7^2 - 4(2)(-6)) ] / ( 2(2) )
                              x = [ -7 ± √(49 - (-48) ) ] / ( 4 )
                              x = [ -7 ± √(97) ] / ( 4)
                              x = [ -7 ± sqrt(97) ] / ( 4 )
                              x = -7/4 ± sqrt(97)/4
The answers are -7/4 + sqrt(97)/4 and -7/4 - sqrt(97)/4.
