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

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
r = -3/4p - 18/5
(or you could put 3.6 or 3 3/5 instead of 18/5)
2 - 3/4p = 5/6r + 5
-5 -5
-3 - 3/4p = 5/6r
/(5/6) /(5/6)
-18/5 - 3/4p = r
-3/4p - 18/5 = r
That’s the correct answer
