Question

can someone help me with this, i have a hard time doing math it would really be nice if you could help me

Answer 1

Hello,

Answer: 73,75

Explanation:

1st Question Answer

x -> 1st

x+2 -> 2nd

So... Since it is equal to 148 then we write...

x+x+2=148

Combine Like Terms

2x+2=148

Subtract 2 from both sides

2x=146

Divide 2 to both sides

x=73 and +2 = 75

In Final: The two consecutive odd integers are 73 and 75

2nd question)

Width of rectangle is x inches

2x-6

Since perimeter = 2(length+witdth)

54 = 2(2W - 6) + 2W, (substitute P = 54 and L = 2W - 6)

66=6w

w=11

To find the length: Substitute

54=2l+2(11)

32=2L

L=16

Answer 2

see explanation

Explanation:

let the two consecutive odd numbers be n and n + 2 , then

n + n + 2 = 148 , collect like terms

2n + 2 = 148 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2n = 146 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 73

n + 2 = 73 + 2 = 75

The 2 numbers are 73 and 75

----------------------------------------------------------------

let width be w then length = 2w - 6

The perimeter (P) is calculated as

P = 2(width + length) , then

2(w + 2w - 6) = 54 ( divide both sides by 2 )

w + 2w - 6 = 27 , collect like terms

3w - 6 = 27 ( add 6 to both sides )

3w = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )

w = 11

2w - 6 = 2(11) - 6 = 22 - 6 = 16

length = 16 in and width = 11 in
