What is 5 billion times 96 billion ?

What is the smallest of 3 consecutive positive integers if the product of the smaller two integers is 5 less than 5 times the la

Irina18 [472]

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

What are the roots of the polynomial equation x2 + x- 72 =0

Alex17521 [72]

First, you can factor them into (x-8)(x+9)=0 then set x-8=0 and x+9=0, in which you get X = 8 or X = -9

The value is 5.48 or 5 inches because the parallelograms have equal opposite sides, so therefore the opposite angles are equal too so the
sinx=5.6/10
x=34
then sin34=h/9.8
h=5 inches.

The area of a parallelogram is 96 cm squared the height is 4 cm less than the length what is

andrey2020 [161]

Area of paralellogram=legnth times height

l=legnth
h=height
area=96

lh=96

h is 4 less than l
h=-4+l
sub
l(-4+l)=96
-4l+l^2=96
minus 96 both sides
l^2-4l-96=0
factor
(l-12)(x+8)=0
set to zero
l-12=0
l=12

l+8=0
l=-8, imossible, legnth cannot be negative, disreagard this soultion

legnth=12cm
