5(x-8)-(x+6)=18
5x-40-x-6=18
4x-46=18
4x=18+46
4x=64
x=16
not sure if this is correct but i hope it helps!!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers are 2x and 2x + 2.
<u>We have:</u>
- (2x + 2x + 2)² = (2x)² + (2x + 2)² + 48
- 4(2x + 1)² = 4x² + 4(x + 1)² + 48
- (2x + 1)² = x² + (x + 1)² + 12
- 4x² + 4x + 1 = x² + x² + 2x + 1 + 12
- 2x² + 2x - 12 = 0
- x² + x - 6 = 0
- (x - 2)(x + 3) = 0
- x = 2, x = -3
<u>The numbers are:</u>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:

Factor out 3 from the first 2 terms:

Divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it: (-3 ÷ 2)² = 9/4
Add this inside the parentheses and subtract the distributed value of it outside the parentheses:

Factor the parentheses and combine the constants:
