Tried a whole bunch of odd sequences:

11 + 13 + 15 = 39
Nope too small.

21 + 23 + 25 = 69
Woah too big!

And after a few more trials found that:
17 + 19 + 21 = 51

Woohoo!

An odd number is ussualy written as "2k+1" and an even number is written as "2k".
Now, as there are 3 consecutive odd numbers that sum to 51, it can be written this way: 
(2k+1)+(2k+3)+(2k+5)=51
6k+9=51
6k=42
k=7 => The numbers are: 2*7+1=15
                                         2*7+3=17
                                          2*7+5=19
15+17+19=51

If we wanted to prove quadrilateral MNOP was a parallelogram, which method below would not work?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

4) Doing two distance formulas to show that adjacent sides are not the same length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram is a quadrilateral which has opposite sides equals and parallel. Example of a parallelogram are rhombus, rectangle, square etc.

We can prove that a quadrilateral MNOP is a parallelogram. If we find the slopes of all four sides and compare those of the opposite ends, same slopes would indicate the opposite sides are parallel, hence the quarilateral is a parallelogram. We can also find the distance of two opposing sides, and slopes of twp opposing sides to determine whether it is a parallelogram or not. The most difficult approach is that diagonals bisect each other at same point.

However, using only two distance formulas will not give us enough information to determine whether a side is parallel or not.

PLS HELP!<br> solve by completing the square<br> x²+4x=8
masya89 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+4x=8

rearrange

x² + 4x - 8 = 0

half of 4 is 2

so

x² + 4x + 2² - 2² - 8 = 0

do x² + 4x + 2²

multiplies to give 4 adds to give 4

2+ 2

(x + 2)²

(x + 2)² - 2² - 8

(x + 2)² - 4 - 8

(x + 2)² - 12

(x + 2 + √12) (x + 2 - √12)

√12 = √4 * √3 = 2 √3

(x + 2 + 2√3) (x + 2 - 2√3)
