"For any three consecutive numbers": x,y,z:
x
y=x+1
z=x+2

"prove algebraically that the largest number and the smallest number are factors"
x*z=

"of the number that is one less than the square of the middle number"

=y²-1

x*z=y²-1
x*(x+2)=(x+1)²-1
x²+2x=x²+2x+1-1
x²+2x=x²+2x

both sides of the equation are the same, so the statement is correct

Solve by elimination.<br> 5x-7y=19<br> 7x-7y=-7
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

(x,y)=(-13,-12)

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 7y = 19

7x - 7y = -7  Multiply both sides of the equation by -1

Which then gives you :

5x-7y=19  Sum the equations vertically to eliminate  

-7x+7y=7                 at least on variable

-2x=26      Divide both sides of the equation by -2

X=-13       Substitute the given value of x into the equation 7x - 7y =-7

7 x(-13)-7y=-7 solve the equation for y

y=-12

Thus gives you (-13,-12)

Hope this was useful!!! Sorry if it's wrong.

Express Express 0.45 as a percent
kkurt [141]
It’s 45%. This is because when changing a decimal into a fraction you move the decimal over two times to the right.
