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

The second question
stich3 [128]

2)

A: 5

B: 9a & a (from a/6)

C: -5 & ÷4

D: -5 & 9a

I haven't done algebra in a year, so don't think my answers are perfect!

definitions:

term: something separated by a sign/symbol (÷, ×, - +) (a/6 are two separate terms, ÷)

constant terms: variables that can be solved.

unlike terms: terms that don't "go" together, you can't subtract 5 from 9a because there's a variable in the way (eyy that rhymes)

like terms: terms that you can add/subtract/multiply/divide to another term

(another answer to c is 9a & a)
