So consecutive intergers are 1 away from each other so
the numbers are
x,x+1,x+2
if the product (multily) of 2 smaeller is 5 less than 5 times largest so
(x times (x+1)) is 5 less than 5 times (x+2)
(x times (x+1))=-5+5(x+2)
pemdas
distribute using distributiver property
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
x times (x+1)=x^2+x
5(x+2)=5x+10
we have
x^2+x=-5+5x+10
add like terms
x^2+x=5x+5
subtract (5x+5) from both sides
x^2-4x-5=0
factor by find what 2 numbers add to -4 and multply to get -5
numbers are 1 and -5
so we do
(x+1)(x-5)=0
sete each to zero
x+1=0
x-5=0
x+1=0
sbtract 1
x=-1
we want positie so thisis wrong answer
x-5=0
add 5
x=5
subsitute
x,x+1,x+2
5,5+1,5+2
5,6,7
smalles is 5
Answer:
x = 8 - y
Step by step explaination:
==>x + y = 8
==> x = 8 - y
==> substract the value
==> Done
(4,7) because 3•4 = 12 and 12+7 = 19
Answer:
1 5/9 OR 14/9
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find out what the question is asking. How much sugar will she need if she wants to make 2 1/3 batches?
Next, we must see if we need to divide, subtract, multiply, or add. We need to divide.
2 1/3 divided by 1 1/2
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: 2 1/3=7/3 1 1/3=3/2
Apply the fraction rule a/b/c/d=a*d/b*c: 7*2/3*3
14/9 OR 1 5/9
