Answer:
2x+216
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer was easy to get because to factor you would just multiply the two numbers together to get 54x4 = 216 and then add the 2x, so your answer is 216+2x
The points are (4,5 ) because the rule for coordinates when rotated 180 is (-x,-y)

Define x :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
First number = x
Second Number = x + 1
Third Number = x + 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
x(x+2) - (x+1) = 7(x+2) + 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
x(x + 2) - (x + 1) = 7(x + 2) + 1
x² + 2x - x - 1 = 7x + 14 + 1
x²- 6x - 16 = 0
<span>(x+2)(x-8) = 0
</span>x = -2 or x = 8
Since x is a positive integer, it cannot be negative.
⇒x = 8
