The mistake is in step 3:
I: −2m =−12 − 2n
II: 2m = 8 + 8n
the student set both right sides of the equations equal (−12 − 2n = 8 + 8n), but the left sides aren't equal: first equation has -2m, second has +2m so the signs of one of the equations must be inverted first
Hello,
What we want to do is multiply 1/6 by each value within the parentheses individually.
So, it would be:
(1/6) * (18x) = 3x
(1/6) * (-24) = -4
Together, this would be 3x-4.
Hope this helps!
I think it would be 2 days. you would get it done 4 times faster, so 8/4 is 2
Let's x represents the first odd integer
The next consecutive integer would be represented as x+2.
So x and x+2 being multiplied together will give us 1443:
(x)(x+2)=1443
x^2+2x=1443
x^2+2x-1443=0
By solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x will equal to 37 and -39.
Since the problem says "integers", so I'm assuming two pairs of consecutive integers would be ok.
With that said you 1st pair will be: 37,39
Your second pair will be: -37,-39.
