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.

A triangle, ABC, has coordinates A (-2, 0), B (-2, 5) and C (-4, 0). What is the length of the shortest side?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation: When you graph the points given, it gives you this shape in the image below.  The hypotenuse (longest side of triangle) is found by doing the following:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs (the other sides of the triangle) and c is the hypotenuse.

5^2 + 2^2 = 29.

√ 29 ≈ 5.38, and that is the length of the hypotenuse.

The shortest side is the bottom side, which is 2 units.  Therefore, that is your answer.

Let me know if this is right! :)

Answer:

y= x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is the form= y=mx+b

-2x + 2y =4

2y = 2x +4

y = (2x+4)/2

y= x+2

Hope this helps!
