We can solve this by finding one of the numbers first
Let the smaller number be y. 
Since these 2 numbers are consecutive odd numbers, the larger number should be 2 more than the smaller one (y+2).

Therefore, 
y + (y+2) = 284
2y +2 = 284
shift +2 to the other side and turn it into -2
2y = 284 - 2
2y = 282
shift x2 to the other side and turn it into /2
y = 282/2
y = 141

Now we got the smaller number, which is 141, we can also find the larger number by adding 2 to it. 141+2 = 143, 
Therefore, your answer is 141 and 143

We need to understand how to set up the equation to solve this. If they are consecutive odd integers, that means they're two odd numbers that are next to each other, like 3 and 5 or 27 and 29. There's always a two-integer difference between the two numbers since they're both odd, so we'll use that to set up our equation. Let's make the smaller integer x. That will make the larger integer x+2, since there is a difference between them of 2. That means our equation is x+x+2=284 or 2x+2=284. When we subtract 2 from each side and then divide by two, we'll get x=141, the first integer. That means the two integers are 141 and 143.

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than 3 times the width. Write and solve an equation to find the width (w) if the length is 1
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Length = 42.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

length of rectangle = 5 + 3w

So l = 5 + 3w where w = 12.5

Equation:

L = 5 + 3(12.5)

Solving the Equation:

L = 5 + 3(12.5)

L = 5 + 36 + 1.5

L = 42.5

Length: 42.5 cm

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

Determine the solution of the system. Show your work
Oxana [17]
First question:

1. Set equations equal to each other so 5x-9=2x+6
2. Put x's on one side so that 3x=15
3. Divide by 3 so that x=15
4. Substitute 15 in for x so that y=2(15)+6
5. Solve for y so that y=36
6. Thus the equations intersect at (15,36)

Second question:

1. Since for lines y=mx+b, and m=slope=3 you only need to write an equation with slope 3
2. y=3x+b, b can be any number
