Answer:

The first set of consecutive even integers equals (8 , 6)

The second set is ( - 8 and - 6) which also works.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

(x)^2 + (x + 2)^2 = (x)(x + 2) + 52            Remove the brackets on both sides

Solution

x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = x^2 + 2x + 52        Collect the like terms on the left

2x^2+ 4x+ 4 = x^2 + 2x + 52                  Subtract right side from left

2x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 2x + 4 - 52  =  0          Collect the like terms

x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0                                     Factor

(x + 8)(x - 6) = 0

Answer

Try the one you know works.

x - 6 = 0

x = 6

Therefore the two integers are 6 and 8

6^2 + 8^2 = 100

6*8 + 52  = 100

So 6 and 8 is one set of  consecutive even numbers that works.    

========================

What about the other set.

x + 8 = 0

x = - 8

x and x + 2

- 8  and -8 + 2 = - 8, - 6

(- 8 )^2 + (- 6)^2 = 100

(-8)(-6) + 52 = 100

Both sets of consecutive numbers work.

Answer:

6 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and x+2 are two even integers.

From question statement,we noticed that

x²+(x+2)² = x(x+2) +52

As (x+2)²= x²+4x+4

x²+x²+4x+4 = x²+2x+52

adding  -x²,-2x and -52 to both sides of above equation,we get

x²+x²+4x+4 -x²-2x-52  = x²+2x+52 -x²-2x-52

add like terms

x²+2x-48 = 0

split the middle term of above equation so that the sum of two terms should be 2 and their product be -48.

x²+8x-6x-48 = 0

make two groups

x(x+8)-6(x+8) = 0

taking (x+8) as common,we get

(x+8)(x-6) = 0

Applying Zero-Product Property to both sides of above equation,we get

x+8 = 0 or x-6 = 0

If x+8 = 0

adding -8 to both sides of above equation,we get

x+8-8 = 0-8

x = -8 which is not possible because -8 is not positive.

If x-6 = 0

adding 6 to both sides of above equation,we get

x-6+6 = 0+6

x = 6

x+2 = 6+2

x+2 = 8

Hence, the two consecutive positive even integers are 6 and 8.

13/2 divided by 3/4
Juliette [100K]

Answer: 26/3

Step-by-step explanation: When dividing by a fraction, we can change

the division sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So 13/2 ÷ 3/4 means the same thing as 13/2 · 4/3.

So when dividing by a fraction, we can just multiply

by the reciprocal of that fraction or that fraction flipped.

Next we cross-cancel.

4 and 2 reduce to 2 and 1.

Multiplying across the numerator and denominators we have 26/3.
