Two positive, consecutive, odd integers have a product of 143.

Complete the equation to represent finding x, the greater intege

11,13

Step-by-step explanation:

let the one of the number is x,then other of its consecutive odd number will be x+2

now their product will be

x(x+2)=143

i.e, x^2+2x=143

i.e, x^2+2x-143=0

i.e, x^2+13x-11x-143=0

i.e,x(x+13)-11(x+13)=0

i.e, (x+13)(x-11)=0

either x+13 =0,

or, x-11=0

i.e, x=11

it's positive number so x= -13 will be neglected

so the number will be 11

other one will be 11+2=13

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
