Factors of 56 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56
<span>Factors of 84 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, </span>28, 42, 84
The outside term multiplies by the outside term on the oposite side to equal the answer.
Example:
Look at the factors of 84
84X1=84
2X42=84
3X28=84
and so on!
Hey, there’s no circle for me to look at unfortunately!
The car's average rate is 43.7 mph. The bicycle's average rate is 12.3 mph.
To get this solution, let the bicycle's average rate be (x) and the car's average rate be (x + 31.4) mph.
Distance= Speed x Time
364 = (x + x + 31.4) 6.5
364 = (2x + 31.4) 6.5
364/6.5 = 2x + 31.4
56 = 2x + 31.4
56 - 31.4 = 2x
24.6 = 2x
24.6/2 = x
12.3 = x
x = 12.3 mph
x+31.4 = 43.7 mph
<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
x+x+1+x+2=33
3x+3=33
3x=30
x=10
so x+1 =11
x+2 =12
