Answer:
Hello,
Step-by-step explanation:
AB=DC=b, AD=BC=a
p=BD, q=AC
angle ABC=x

Let the first integer be
. So, the next even number is 
Let's translate the formula: the square of the second is
, twice the first is
. So, the equation is

Expand the square to get

The solutions to this equations are

So, the possible consecutive even numbers are

We are told that every 9th person gets free popcorn and every 6th person gets free apple juice at the movie theater. We want to show if the 36th person is the first to get both free popcorn and apple juice.
Since every 9th gets free popcorn, then the 9th and 18th and 27th and 36th people get it. We can use numbers and show this as multiples of 9.
9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, ...
And we repeat it for every 6th and the free juice.
6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36,....
Shani thinks 36 comes first, and she's wrong. 18 appears on the list before 36 as something that's common. What are we finding is the lowest common muliple of 6 and 9.
6 = 2 x 3
9 = 3 x 3
The lowest common multiple will have a 2, a 3, and a second 3 (because we don't double count). 2 x 3 x 3 = 18. This matches up to the list of multiples.
Thus, Shani is wrong that the 36th person gets both free items, as she did not account for the 18th person gettting both free items
FOIL is an 'acronym'. It helps you remember how to multiply
two binomials ... like (2x-7) and (5x+5) .
FOIL stands for "First, Outside, Inside, Last". Here's how it's used
to multiply these particular two binomials:
(2x - 7) (5x + 5)
First: (2x) (5x) = 10x²
Outside: (2x) (5) = 10x
Inside: (-7) (5x) = -35x
Last: (-7) (5) = -35
Add them all together, and you have the product:
10x² + 10x -35x -35
Simplify the sum: 10x² - 25x -35
or 5(x² - 5x - 7) .
