3 consecutive positive integers : x, x + 1, x + 2
x^2 = x + 2
x^2 - x - 2 = 0
(x + 1)(x - 2) = 0
x + 1 = 0
x = -1....this is an extraneous solution that does not work
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
check...
square of the first = third
x^2 = x + 2
2^2 = 2 + 2
4 = 4 (correct)
so ur 3 integers are 2,3, and 4
Answer:
2x+18
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this help.
14 = -(p-8)
Step 1 : Distribute the negative sign. This is equivalent to multiplying each term in the parenthesis by -1.
14 = -p+8
Step 2: Subtract 8 from each side to isolate the -p.
14 - 8 = -p +8 - 8
6 = -p
Step 3: Multiply everything by -1 to get what p is equivalent to.
6 * -1 = -p * -1
-6 = p
Which can be rewritten as
p = -6
Answer: Each pen cost $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
If A LaDawn buys a pack of 10 gel pens and the total cost is $7.50 then you divide 7.50 by 10.
Answer:
Firstly, rewrite the equation:
⅓ (18 + 27) = 81
Substitute x for the given number of it's supposed equivalent.
In this case x = 12.
⅓ (18(12) + 27) = 81
Solve using PEMDAS and simplify what is in the parenthesis first. Then, multiply.
(18 x 12) + 27 = 243
Now, solving using PEMDAS, multiply the total of what you got that was originally in the parenthesis by ⅓ .
⅓ (243) = 81
When you multiple these number they are equivalent to 81.
81 = 81
Since the equation given, when substituted x for 12, is equivalent to 81, this proves that substituting x for 12 makes this equation true.
