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.

Find 3 consecutive integers such that the sum of the first and twice the second is 16 more than twice the third
lions [1.4K]

Answer: 18, 19, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3 consecutive integers = x, y and z

1st number is X

2nd number is Y which is X +1

3rd number is Z which is X +2

Write equation

X + 2Y = 16 + 2Z

Replace Y with X + 1 and Z with X + 2

So,

X + 2(X + 1) = 16 + 2(X + 2)

Distribute

X + 2X + 2 = 16 + 2X + 4

Combine like terms

3X + 2 = 2X + 20

Solve for X

3X + 2 - 2 - 2X = 20 + 2X - 2X - 2

X = 18 so, Y is 19 and Z is 20

Write the expression as a single logarithm. 5logby+ 4logbx
balandron [24]
To write the expression 5logby+ 4logbx, you need to know the laws of logarithm. These laws will help you what will be the type of logarithm that will fit in the given expression. For multiplication, log a + log b = logab and for a logarithm that has a coefficient, 5logb = logb⁵. So the answer is 
<span> 
</span>5logby+ 4logbx
<span>logb y</span>⁵ + logb x⁴
<span>logb y</span>⁵x⁴<span>
The answer is letter B.
