4x - 5(x - 2) = 12x + 4 - x
4x - 5(x) - 5(-2) = 12 - x + 4
4x - 5x + 10 = 11x + 4
-x + 10 = 11x + 4
<u>+ x + x </u>
10 = 12x + 4
<u>- 4 - 4</u>
<u>6</u> = <u>12x</u>

Let the four consecutive numbers be x, x+1, x+2, and x+3.
The sum of the four numbers is 54, therefore
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) = 54
4x + 6 = 54
4x = 54 - 6 = 48
x = 12
Answer:
The four numbers are 12, 13, 14, and 15
First, find the total area of pizza. The area of a rectangle is length times width.
Area = 21 x 36 = 756 sq. inches
Now, we must divide the total area with the largest square possible without any excess. So, we equate the area of the pizza to area of square:
A = s² = 756
s = 6 √21
Hence, the largest piece square possible has a side of 6 inches. Then, we divide the total area of the pizza by the area of each square piece to find the number of pieces;
756/6² = 21
Thus, there would be 21 pieces of 6-in square piece of pizza.
