Four consecutive integers... n, n+1, n+2, n+3.

The product of the 1st and 4th is four less than twice the 1st multiplied by the 4th.

n(n+3)=2n(n+3)-4  perform indicated multiplications...

n^2+3n=2n^2+6n-4  subtract n^2 from both sides

3n=n^2+6n-4  subtract 3n from both sides

n^2+3n-4=0  factor

n^2-n+4n-4=0

n(n-1)+4(n-1)=0

(n+4)(n-1)=0, and since n>0

n=1

So the four numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4

check...

1(4)=2(1)4-4

4=8-4

4=4

M&lt;1=115<br> M&lt;2<br> Could y’all give answers for all though
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

1) m<2 = 115°

2) m<5 = 83°

3) m<8 = 45°

4) m<4 = 137°

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines cross over each other, creating four angles, the opposite angles are equal.

So in question one, <1 is equal to <2, the angle opposite it, and so it is 115°.

Similarly, in question two, <5 = <6 = 84°.

In question three, <8 = <9 = 45°.

and in question four, <3 = <4 =137°.
