If N is a positive integer, it must be either even or odd. If N is odd, then N-1 will be even. If N is even, then N-1 will be odd. Either way, when you multiply n and n-1, one of those expressions is going to be an even number, and any number multiplied by an even number is an even number. Hope this helps! :)

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill makes purses and backpacks.

Let x represent the number of foot of fabric required to make a purse.

Let y represent the number of foot of fabric required to make a backpack.

To make each purse,she uses 1 foot less than half the amount of fabric she uses to make a backpack. This means that

x = (y/2) - 1

Therefore, the amount of fabric that Jill needs to make backpack will be

y/2 = x-1

y = 2(x-1) = 2x - 2

The number of feet of fabric that she will use to make a purse is

x = (y/2) - 1
