Use a let statement
first
let x and x + 2 be the number so you write it like this
<u>let x = the first consecutive integer
</u><u>let x + 2 = the second consecutive integer
</u>
second
x(x+2)=323
x^2 + 2x = 323
-323 -323
x^2 + 2x -323 = 0
third
try to factor -323 so it is 19 and -17
(x + 19) (x - 17) = 0
x = 19
x = -17
hope this help
The explicit formula for given sequence is: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given sequence is:
-1,4,-16,64.....
We can see that there is no same difference between consecutive terms so we will find common ratio to see if it is a geometric sequence.
Here
The explicit formula for geometric sequence is:
Putting the values of r and a1
Hence
The explicit formula for given sequence is:
Keywords: Geometric sequence, common ratio

Hello! In order to understand this question, we need to take a look at the content that is involved.
Lupita pays $40.03 in total. Meaning that's where we are going to start if we want to find out how many miles her ride was. Since the taxi charges a flat rate of $6.75. We would want to subtract it from her total value because we only work with that flat rate once. Which ends up giving us $33.28. From there, we don't need to worry about the flat rate anymore and we now focus on the mileage. If it costs $3.20 per mile, then we can simply divide the amount after to flat rate by the cost per mile, to figure out how many miles she has gone. In the end, you will get 10.4 miles.
The Intersecting Secant Theorem says
EC × ED = EB × EA
(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)
(x+4)(x+5)=(x+1)(x+12)
x^2 + 9x + 20 = x^2 + 13 x + 12
8 = 4x
x = 2
Check:
6(7)=42
3(14)=42, good
