Given, (9x - 4)(9x + 4) = ax² - b

From algebraic identities:

We know, (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

Now, 81x² + 36x - 36x - 16 = ax² - b

81x² - 16 = axis² - b

So ax² = 81x²

a = 81

-b = -16

b = 16

Solution

Therefore, the value of a is 81.

FIRST SOLUTION!
first number = x
second number = x+2
third number = x+4
fourth number=x+6
fifth number=x+8
sixth number=x+10
seventh number=x+12

add all of those up and combine like terms to get 7x+42=357. Now subtract 42 from both sides to get 7x=315. Next, divide both sides by 7 to get x=45. To get the numbers, plug in 45 for x.

Your numbers should be 45,47,49,51,53,55, and 57.
