2 consecutive odd integers.....x and x + 2.....the product means multiply....the sum means add.

x(x + 2) = 4(x + x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 4(2x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 8 - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 7
x^2 + 2x - 8x - 7 = 0
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0

x - 7 = 0            x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
x = 7
 
x + 1 = 0           x + 2 = -1 + 2 = 1
x = -1

there can be 2 answers for this....
(1) 7 and 9
(2) -1 and 1

Anyone know inverse operations, cause I am confused, I looked online and it said
bija089 [108]

Answer:

For inverse operations, it helps make solving equations easier. Say if you'd rather add than subtract, then you can do the inverse of a negative equation.

Inverse operations are also very helpful for linear equations.

To find the inverse of an equation, we change the plus sign to a negative sign. Then, we switch the first number and the answer.

Ex:

13 - 2 = 11    (now change plus to minus)

13 + 2 = 11      (not the answer yet)

Now we switch the first number with the answer!

11 + 2 = 13

Hope this helped, I tried to explain it easily.

What is the GCF for 18, 45, and 90
KengaRu [80]
To find the GCF first list down the prime factors of each number then multiply the factors both have in common, or if the numbers have only one prime factor in common then that's the answer. to find the prime factors of a number just divide the number by prime factors in order.

in this question prime factors of the numbers are,
18=2×2×3
45=3×3×3
90=2×3×3×5
the common factors are 3 and 3. so now multiply 3 by 3= 9

answer=9
