The product of the page numbers on two facing pages of a book is 156. Find the page numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gnoma [55]3 years ago

Let x be the page number then x+1 would be the other page number (because the pages are two facing pages which means they follow on consecutively)

Then

(x)(x+1) = 156

x^2 + x - 156 = 0

x = 12 or x = -13( but x can't be a negative number)

so x = 12

and the next page is 13

Triple a number decreased by 14
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Since we know 14, but we don't know the other number, we use a variable. To do that, we look at the problem, then we figure out the unknown. The unknown is: A number. We know 14. Since "Triple" means 3, we can put the exponent 3 by X.

Therefore, the answer is X^3-14.
