Consecutive numbers are always 1 away from each other
3,4

so consecutive is represented by
x and x+1
so sum is -171
x+x+1=-171
add like terms
2x+1=-171
subtract 1 from both sides
2x=-172
divide both sides by 2
x=-86
subustitute
x+1=otehr number
x+1=-86+1=-85
answer is -85 and -86

Answer:

  (-2, -3), (1, 6), (2, 9) are plotted in the attached graph

Step-by-step explanation:

For x = -2, y = 3(-2) +3 = -3. The ordered pair is (-2, -3).

For x = 1, y = 3(1) +3 = 6. The ordered pair is (1, 6).

For x = 2, y = 3(2) +3 = 9. The ordered pair is (2, 9).

The graph is attached.

2. 4x² - 33x + 35

3. 12x² - 11x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

All we do with these questions are expanding the factored binomials. Use FOIL:

1. y² + 3y - 6y - 18

y² - 3y - 18

2. 4x² - 28x - 5x + 35

4x² - 33x + 35

3. 12x² - 3x - 8x + 2

12x² - 11x + 2
