X² - 16xy + 64y²
= x² - 2*8xy + (8y)²
= (x - 8y)²
Answer
a= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(a-3)=12
1.) -2(a)= -2a
2) -2(-3)= 6
3) -2a+6=12
-6 -6
4) -2a/-2 = 12/-2
a = -6
So I’m going to solve this using algebra OK?
So what you do is take the first integer as X.
Then we know that x(the first number) + X+2(the second number) is 288 right?
So we solve that saying x+x+2=288.
So 2X+2=288
2X+2-2=288-2 right?
So 2X=286.
So x is 286/2 right?
So x is 143.
Now the first number is 143 right?
So the second number should be 143+2 so 145.
I know they are not even but these are the solutions.
I don’t think there are any consecutive even numbers that add up to 288
