Find two consecutive even integers such that the square of the second, decreased by twice the first is 52

Let the first integer be x. So, the next even number is x+2

Let's translate the formula: the square of the second is (x+2)^2, twice the first is 2x. So, the equation is

(x+2)^2 - 2x = 52

Expand the square to get

x^2+4x+4-2x = 52 \iff x^2+2x+4 = 52 \iff x^2+2x - 48 = 0

The solutions to this equations are

x = -8,\quad x = 6

So, the possible consecutive even numbers are

-8\text{ and } -6\quad\text{or}\quad 6\text{ and } 8

Rectangle A has length 12 and width 8. Rectangle B has length 15 and width 10. Rectangle C has length 30 and width 15.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

  yes; 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The length to width ratios of the rectangles are ...

  A: 12/8 = 1.5

  B: 15/10 = 1.5

  C: 30/15 = 2.0

__

Rectangles A and B have the same aspect ratio, so are similar. Rectangle B is a scaled copy of A with a scale factor of 10/8 = 1.25.
