Answer:

No, 5 + 3(1 - x) is NOT equivalent to 8 - 8x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if they are equivalent to each other, we first need to simplify the first expression:

5 + 3(1 - x)

Distribute the 3 into the parenthesis:

5 + 3 -3x

Combine like terms:

8 - 3x

No, 5 + 3(1 - x) is NOT equivalent to 8 - 8x.

The square of the sum of two consecutive natural numbers is greater than the sum of the squares of these two numbers by 112. fin

Verdich [7]

We solve the equation, ( a + a + 1 )^2 = 112 + a^2 + ( a + 1 )^2;
Then, ( 2a + 1 )^2 = 112 + a^2 + a^2 + 2a +1;
4a^2 + 4a + 1 = 113 + 2a^2 + 2a;
Finally, 2a^2 + 2a - 112 = 0;
a^2 + a - 56 = 0;
We use <span>Quadratic Formula for this Quadratic Equation;
The solutions are a1 = 7 and a2 = -8;
But a is a natural number; so, a = 7;
The natural consecutive numbers are 7 and 8.</span>
