<span>Because the four numbers are consecutive, we can call the first one x, and the other three are x+1, x+2, and x+3, respectively.
x * (x+1) = (x+2) * (x+3) - 38
x^2 + x = x^2 + 5x +6-38
x^2 + x = x^2 + 5x - 32
-4x = -32
x=8
The four numbers are 8, 9, 10, and 11
check solution: 8*9=10*11-38
72=110-38
72=72</span>
Answer:
y = 3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 3x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes , then
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (3, 8 ) into the partial equation
8 = 9 + c ⇒ c = 8 - 9 = - 1
y = 3x - 1 ← equation of parallel line
Answer: 21 & 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of two numbers is 39
Difference is 3
Let the numbers be x & y
X+y=39........equation 1
X-y=3...........equation 2
X=3+y............equation 3
Substitute equation 3 into equation 1
(3+y)+y=39
3+y+y=39
3+2y=39
2y=39-3
2y=36
Y=36/2
Y=18
Substitute for y in equation 2
X-y=3
X-18=3
X=3+18
X=21
The two numbers are 21 & 18
