The product two consecutive odd numbers is 63find the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
anygoal [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

These results, 7 and 9, have a product of 63, as stated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the first odd number by x and the first consecutive odd number by x + 2.  Then the product of these two numbers is x(x + 2) and it equals 63.

Solve for x.  Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining

x^2 + 2x - 63 = 0

Solve this by factoring:  (x + 9)(x - 7) = 0

Then x could be either -9 or +7.  If we let x = 7 then the first consecutive odd number is 7 + 2, or 9.  These results, 7 and 9, have a product of 63, as stated.

Gloria says the two expressions ¼ (12x + 24) - 9x and -6 (x+1) are equivalent. Is she correct? Explain how you know.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* No, they are not equivalent. *:・゚✧*:・゚✧

Step-by-step explanation:

♥*♡∞:。.The first expression is equal to 3x + 24 - 9x, or 24 - 6x, and the second equation equals 6-6x. If you set them equal to eachother, you get 24 - 6x = 6 - 6x. The 6x's cancel out, so you're left with 24 = 6, which is not true. The expressions are not equivalent. 。.。:∞♡*♥

Calculate the slope of a line that passes through the points (6, -12) and (15, -3).
Stells [14]

Answer:

B. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is calculated by taking the difference in the y-coordinates of two points and dividing that by the difference in the x-coordinates of those two points.

Here, we have (6, -12) and (15, -3).

The difference in the y-coordinates is:

15 - 6 = 9

The difference in the x-coordinates is:

-3 - (-12) = -3 + 12 = 9

Divide 9 by 9:

9/9 = 1

The slope is thus 1, and the answer is B.
