Answer:
B. n-3
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is an even integer, the next consecutive even integer = x + 2
Since (n-5) is even, the next consecutive even integer = (n-5) + 2 = n-3
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: b = 4, h = 13
Discussion:
For a triangle with base b" and height "h, the area formula is
A= (1/2)bh.
In our case A = 26, h = 5b-7, so
26 = (1/2) b (5b-7). Multiply both sides by 2:
26*2 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = 5b^2 - 7b => (subtract 52 from both sides)
5b^2 - 7b - 52 = 0. This factors as follows:
(b - 4) (5 b + 13) = 0 (use quadratic formula to find this)
so b = 4 and h = 5b -7 = 5*4 - 7 = 13
Thank you,

5x - 3y = -11 (×2)
2x - 6y = -14 (x5)
10x - 6y = -22
10x - 30y = -70
---------------------- -
24y = 48
y = 2
