The product of two consecutive odd integers is 255. Find the integers.

15 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two consecutive odd integers gives 255

Let the first number be x

Then the second number will be x+2

The product will be

x(x+2)= 255

x²+2x=255

x²+2x-255=0

We have a quadratic equation. We can either use factorisation method or formulae method. Let's use the factorisation, which is the most common method

x²+2x-255

We look for the two numbers which will give us +2 by addition or subtraction and by multiplication will give us -255. And that number is 17 and -15

x²+17x-15x-255

(x+17)(x-15)

x gives 17 and 15

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
