The product of two consecutive odd integers is 35.form the equation |
|
Answer» −7and−5 or +5and+7
LET the first number be 2n−1
∴ the second number must be 2n+1
We are told that the product of the numbers is 35 ∴(2n−1)(2n+1)=35
4n2−1=35
4n2=36
N2= 9→n=±3
Then, EITHER, first number =(6−1)=+5
∴ second number =5+2=+7
or First number =(−6−1)=−7
∴ second number = −7+2=−5 Step-by-step explanation: Hope it will help you. |
