The answer is 9.63 x 10^12
<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
Answer:
factor left the side of the equation
(2k_9)(k+2)=0
set factors equal to 0
2k_9=0 or k+2=0
the answer is K= 9/2 or K =-2

Answer:
49°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.
∠A +∠B +∠C = 180
(x +32) +(x +41) +(3x +22) = 180 . . . . angles assumed to be in degrees
5x +95 = 180
5x = 85
x = 17
x +32 = 49 . . . . measure of ∠A
Answer:
1. x = 12
2. x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. -222 = -2x - 12x - 54
-222 = -14x - 54
-168 = -14x
x = 12
2. 154 = 2x + 12x + 84
154 = 14x + 84
70 = 14x
x = 5
