Step-by-step explanation:

x = one odd number

the second odd number is (x+2), as both are consecutive.

so,

x × (x + 2) = 195

x² + 2x = 195

x² + 2x - 195 = 0

the formula to solve this is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 2

c = -195

x = (-2 ± sqrt(4 - 4×1×-195))/(2×1) =

= (-2 ± sqrt(4 + 4×195))/2 = (-2 ± sqrt(784))/2 =

= (-2 ± 28)/2 = -1 ± 14

x1 = -1 + 14 = 13

x2 = -1 - 14 = -15 which is invalid as the numbers are positive.

so, the two numbers are 13 and 15.

Volgvan

Answer:

Y=-1/2x ?

Step-by-step explanation:

There might be an y intercept. First find the slope. (Change in y over change in x) -2-1 over -1-5 then you get -3/-6. You can simplify an get -1/2. That forms an equation of y=-1/2x. That might be part of the answer. You still might need to find the y intercept, and I dont know how really. Hope this helps.

If f(x) = x^2 + 3x – 2. find f(-2) .<br>f(-2) = -4<br>f(-2) = 4<br>f(-2) = -2<br>f(-2) = 2​
Reptile [31]

Answer:

f(-2) = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² + 3x - 2

f(-2) = ( -2)² + 3 *(-2) - 2

= 4 - 6 - 2

= 4- 8

= - 4

Hope it will help :)

Compare the following sentences:
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: Let us assume that our income is $X.

In the first case:

1) We received a raise and our income increased to 135% of its previous amount.

"increased to" denotes that we will multiply our original income by the percentage given.

Therefore our income would be = $X * 1.35 = $1.35

X

In the second case:

2) We received a raise and our income increased by 135%.

"increased by" denotes that we have to add the given percentage of our income to our original income.

<em><u>Therefore our income would be $X + $X*1.35= $2.35X</u></em>
