Let one integer be x, the consecutive odd integer is x+2
reciprocals are 1/x and 1/(x+2)
1/x +1/(x+2)=24/143
make the denominators the same:
(x+2)/[x(x+2)] +x/[x(x+2)]=24/143
143(2x+2)=24(x)(x+2)
286x+286=24x²+48x
24x²-238x-286=0
use the quadratic formula: x=22 this doesn't work because 22 is not an odd number.
or x=-2.1666666666 (this is not an integer)
weird.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
I took the quiz and got it right.
Also, the equation is y > x/2 - 3
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Hayden uses 3 cups of water to make a broth for soup
He uses 3 times as many cups of milk
Therefore the number of broth ounces made by Hayden can be calculated as follows
= 3+3
= 6
x - 4 = -12
I think x = -8 as if you decrease -8 by 4 it will leave us with the answer of -12
x = -8
Hope this helped,
