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
Answer: First, turn the mixed fraction 16 1/4 into a improper fraction. It would become 65/4
x+65/4=64
Next, I would multiply the entire equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction
It would become 4x+65=256
Now solve for X
4x=191
x=191/4
x=47.75

Answer:
the diagonal measurement from corner A to corner B=15 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
as we know that the loptop has the shape of a rectangle that means all it's angles are right angles. so we can use the pythogoras theorem to find out the diagonal of the rectangle.
let us denote the diagonal of rectangle by D and the sides of rectangle be denoted by X=12 and Y=9
so by using pythogoras theorem we have,

=225
D=15
Hence the diagonal measurement from corner A to corner B is 15 inches.
