4. Let the numbers be x - 2, x, and x + 2, where x is an odd number.
2(x² - 4) - 4x = (x + 2)² + 21
2x² - 8 - 4x = x² + 4x + 4 + 21
2x² - 4x - 8 = x² + 4x + 25
x² - 8x - 33 = 0
(x - 11)(x + 3) = 0

x = 11, or -3
When x = 11, x - 2 = 9, x + 2 = 13

When x = -3, x - 2 = -5, x + 2 = -1

Explanation: You are on the right track. However, rather than having three unknown variables, try to reduce your working out to one unknown variable. Since you know they are consecutive odd numbers, you can simply let x be the middle term and the other two be + and - 2, provided x is an odd number.

That will reduce your variable issues, and helps as the first and third provide a difference of two squares, and this works out very nicely.

Q5: is essentially the same process. Let your variables be something in the form of one unknown variable, and you should be okay from there. Let me know if you're stuck.

Pleaseeee help! I'm really confused.
seropon [69]
He will be making a right triangle with the legs being 24 x 45. The diagonal will be the hypotenuse of the triangle. To find the amount of fencing we need the perimeter of the triangle.
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
24^2 + 45^2 = c^2
576 + 2025 = c^2
2601 = c^2
sqrt 2601 = c
c = 51
Adding the three lengths the total fencing needed is
51+24+45=120 meters

Simplify the rational expression. State any restrictions on the variable.
ExtremeBDS [4]

we are given

\frac{(n^4-10n^2+24)}{(n^4-9n^2+18)}

Firstly, we will factor numerators and denominators

\frac{(n^4-10n^2+24)}{(n^4-9n^2+18)}=\frac{(n^2-6)(n^2-4)}{(n^2-3)(n^2-6)}

we can see that

n^2 -6 is factor on both numerator and denominator

so, it will get cancelled

and n^2 -6 can not be equal to 0

so, one of restriction is

n^2-6\neq 0

n\neq -+ \sqrt{6}

we can simplify it

\frac{(n^4-10n^2+24)}{(n^4-9n^2+18)}=\frac{(n^2-4)}{(n^2-3)}

we know that denominator can not be zero

n^2-3\neq 0

n\neq -+ \sqrt{3}

so, option-B.......Answer

Which is M=9pm solved for p
zaharov [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The value of </u><u>p :M/9m</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we have been given value of M

Value of M=9pm

So we can find value of p from here by simple mathematics rule

M=9pm

divide both side with 9m so

M/9m=9pm/9m

we get value of p so M/9m=p.

we can write it as p=M/9m
