X + 1 = - 1/4 - 5/8
x + 1 = -2 - 5 / 8
x + 1 = - 7/ 8
x = -7 /8 - 1
x = - 7 - 8 / 8
x = - 15 / 8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Square Root of 225 is 15 (with -15 also it would work but let’s stick to positive root)
Now, the 1st Odd Number is 15 -2 = 13 and the 3rd Odd Number is 15 + 2 = 17.
The required Numbers are 13 and 17.
This works for 3 consecutive Even Numbers also.
Why does it work?
Because, if we have 3 numbers to be a-2, a and a+2 (Doesn’t really matter if a is positive or negative)
(a-2)*(a+2) = a^2 - 4
So, you see adding 4 to the Product of the 1st Number and the 3rd Number (a^2 - 4 + 4 = a^2) gives you the square of the Middle Number, which is a^2!

it would be B
a) Since the corresponding y-value is -0.6, hence the point (-0.8, -0.6) is a solution to the system of equations
b) since the corresponding x-value is not 1/3, hence the point (1/3, 2) is not a solution to the system of equation
In order to show if the given point corresponds to the given function, we will have to substitute the value of x into the function to see if we will have its corresponding y-value
For the point (-0.8, -0.6), substitute x = -0.8 into both functions as shown:
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(-0.8) = 2(-0.8) + 1
f(-0.8) = -1.6 + 1
f(-0.8) = -0.6
Simiarly;
y = -3(-0.8)- 3
y = 2.4 - 3
y = -0.6
Since the corresponding y-value is -0.6, hence the point (-0.8, -0.6) is a solution to the system of equations
For the point (1/3, 2), substitute x = 1/3 into both functions as shown:
x = (y+2)/2
x = (2+2)/2
x = 4/2
x = 2
Simiarly;
x + 2 = 3
x = 3-2
x = 1
Since the corresponding x-value is not 1/3, hence the point (1/3, 2) is not a solution to the system of equations
