Rational numbers are whole integers w no fractions. bc the square root of 72 is not a whole number, it is irrational
Let x be the first odd number.
Second odd number will be x+2
Proof:
If 3 (was) the first odd number, 3+2 would be the next which is 5.
So,
(x) (x+2) = 99
xsquare + 2x = 99
xsquare +2x - 99 = 0
xsquare +11x - 9x -99 = 0
x(x +11) -9(x + 11) = 0
(x+11) (x-9) = 0
So the two odd numbers were 9 and 11
Answer:
a) (2+8)+9
b) (3+7)+5+4
c) (4+16)+2
d) (31+9)+4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 2+9+8
2 and 8 add up to 10, so we regroup them in parentheses
(2+8)+9
b) 3 + 5 + 4 + 7
3 and 7 add up to 10, so we regroup them in parentheses
(3+7)+5+4
c) 4 + 2 + 16
4 and 16 add up to 20 which is a multiple of 10, so we regroup them in parentheses
(4+16)+2
d) 31 + 4 + 9
31 and 9 add up to 40 which is a multiple of 10, so we regroup them in parentheses
(31+9)+4
