The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 144. Which expression may be used to solve the problem?

smaller no.=x

larger=x+2

x+x+2-144

2x+2-144

2x=142

X=71

Smaller=71

Larger=71+2=73

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.

- both graphs increase on their domain.

- the graphs of both functions have the same x-intercept.

- neither graph has a y-intercept.
