Consecutive odd integers are 2 apart
they are x and x+2
the product (x times (x+2)) is 1 less than 4 times their sum
x(x+2)=-1+4(x+x+2)


![x^2+2x=8x+7 minus (8x+7) from both sides [tex]x^2-6x-7=0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E2%2B2x%3D8x%2B7%20minus%20%288x%2B7%29%20from%20both%20sides%20%5Btex%5Dx%5E2-6x-7%3D0)

what numbers multliply to get -7 and add to get -6?
-7 and 1
(x-7)(x+1)=0
set equal to 0
x-7=0
x=7
x+1=0
x=-1
so the x can be 7 or -1
the other number (x+2) can be 7 or 1
test each
7 and 9
7(9)=-1+4(7+9)
63=-1+4(16)
63=-1+64
63=63
true
-1 and 1
-1(1)=-1+4(-1+1)
-1=-1+4(0)
-1=-1+0
-1=-1
true
the 2 integers can be 7 and 9 or -1 and 1 (both pairs of numbers work)
Answer:
5.848 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the piece of cardboard into nine equal squares of side z.
The centre square is the base of the cube.
When you cut out the corner squares and fold up the sides, you will have a cube with edge length z.
The cube must have a volume of 200 in³.
V = z³
200 = z³
![z = \sqrt[3]{200}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=z%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B200%7D)
![z = \sqrt[3]{8\times25}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=z%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B8%5Ctimes25%7D)
![z = 2\sqrt[3]{25}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=z%20%3D%202%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B25%7D)
z = 2 × 2.924
z = 5.848 in
The edge length of the cube is 5.848 in.

<span>1. When you are paying a bill in full, said bill is completely paid off. In other words, the bill amount has been fulfilled by the consumer in a sort of payment. The answer is a. consumer is paying it off.
2. APR is a rate that is used frequently when applying and using a credit card. It stands for c. annual percentage rate or the percentage that will be charged when a credit card is not paid in full by the due date each month.
3. When calculating interest accrued you should multiply the principal by the APR & number of months, then divide the number of months in a year (12). This will be the interest that the consumer has gained and must pay off to the lender.</span>
