Answer 1

Answer:

I think it is -4 and -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

15, 16

Step-by-step explanation:

so, x(x+1)=x+x+1+209.solve this and you get x^2+x=2x=210, x^2-x-210=0, and when you solve this quadratic function, you get x=15, and the other with 16. to check see if 240 is 209 greater than 31, which is so there you have it. Hope you have a happy thanksgiving!
