"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"

Call the pieces a,b,c

a + b + c = 31

"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"

b = 2a

"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"

c = 1 + 7a

Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.

a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31

10a + 1 = 31

10a = 30

a = 30/10 = 3

b = 2a = 6

c = 1 + 7a = 22

Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good

Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches

The sum of consecutive integers 1,2,3,...,n is given by the formula 1/2n(n+1). How many consecutive integers, starting with 1, m
LuckyWell [14K]

1/2 * n * (n+1) = 1081

distribute

1/2 n^2 +1/2n -1081=0

factor out 1/2

1/2 (n^2 +n -2162) =0

multiply each side by 2

(n^2 +n -2162) =0

factor

(n-46) (n+47) =0

n=46, n=-47

n cannot be negative

n=46

Answer 46

Factorise x² - x with explanation please?​
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

x(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation: This is an important way of solving quadratic equations. The first step of factorising an expression is to 'take out' any common factors which the terms have. So if you were asked to factorise x² + x, since x goes into both terms, you would write x(x + 1)
