The equation factors as
.. (x +3)(x +4) = 0
By the zero-product rule, the roots are
.. x1 = -4
.. x2 = -3
7+7=14
Hope this helps!! <3
Alright, so if the first number is x, the second number is y, and the third number is z, we have x+y+z=270. Next, since we know that x=y-1 since it is less than y by one and z=y+1, we have y-1+y+y+1=y+y+y=3y=270. Dividing both sides by 3, we get y=90
Let x be the width so the length will be 2x-4 . The perimeter can be found by the equation x+x+(2x-4)+(2x-4)=58. Notice I repeated the length and the width twice because you know there are two lengths and two widths in a rectangle, so continue solving by combining like terms 6x-8=58 the add 8 to both sides 6x=66 then divide both sides by 6 to obtain x=11, that's the width but they are asking you for the length so we said the length could be found by the equation 2x-4, now plug in the 11, 2(11)-4 and solve 22-4 equals 18cm which is the length.
