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

balu736 [363]

the question in English

Juan has blue cubes with a 55 mm edge and red cubes with a 45 mm edge. He stacks them in two columns, one of each color; he wants the two columns to be the same height. How many cubes does he need, as a minimum, of each color?

Let

x---------> the number of blue cubes

y--------> the number of red cubes

we know that

Juan wants that  the two columns to be the same height

so

55x=45y

solve for y

y=\frac{55}{45}x

I proceed to calculate a table, assuming values of x to calculate the value of y. When the values of x and y are whole numbers, I will have found the solution.    

the table in the attached figure

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

9 blue cubes

11 red cubes
