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.

Answer: The answer is 22,452

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply 6×2 which will be 12

Put the 1 from the 12 on top of the 4 then do 4×6+1 it will equal 25

Then put the 2 on top of the 7 then do 7×6+2 it will equal 44

Then put the 4 on top of the 3 then do 3×6+4 it will equal 22

And that's how you get your answer.

In every triangle,if one of those three angles has his measure more than 90°,then the triangle is optuse.
If all three angles are 60°,it means the triangle equiangular.

If one of those three angles is equal to 90°,the triangle is right.

If all the angles of the triangle have their measure less than 90°,the triangle is acute.

_____________________________________________________________

Your triangle has an angle bigger than 90°,it means the triangle is optuse.

Hunter is bisecting the angle shown. When drawing the arcs centered on points P and Q, why must he keep the compass the same wid
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The arcs are drawn to find a point on the bisecting ray. If the arcs are the same width, it makes sure that they are equidistant from the points on the rays of the angle. This causes the point to be on the bisecting ray.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bisection of an angle implies dividing the angle into two equal parts. The ray that divides the angle is called a bisector.

The hunter should use the same radius or width to draw the two arcs, using points P and Q as the center interchangeably, so that they would intersect at an equidistant point to P and Q. The point of intersection lies on the bisecting ray of the angle.

The USA Today reports that the average expenditure on Valentine's Day is $100.89. Do male and female consumers differ in the amo
sergeinik [125]

Answer: $ 67.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average expenditure in a sample survey of 50 male consumers was $135.67, and the average expenditure in a sample survey of 38 female consumers was $68.64.

i.e. \overline{x}_1=\$135.67\ \ \&\ \ \overline{x}_2=\$68.64

The best point estimate of the difference between the two population means is given by :-

\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2\\\\=135.67-68.64=67.03

Hence, the point estimate of the difference between the population mean expenditure for males and the population mean expenditure for females : $ 67.03
