Here's the question: The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 236. Use algebra (showing all steps) to determine the numbers.

Now, I know that it is 117 and 118, but I don't know how to show all my steps correctly. This is what I always do with these kinds of questions:

What is the sum of two consecutive odd integers equaling 36?
36/2 = 18. 18-1=17 18+1=19

So, do I show my work like I would for 36 or is there a better way to present it for this question? This is prep for my midterm exam.

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.  

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
