Addition is the inverse of subtraction and multiplication is the inverse of division.
Ex: 1+1 = 2, 2-2 = 0
Use a let statement
first
let x and x + 2 be the number so you write it like this
<u>let x = the first consecutive integer
</u><u>let x + 2 = the second consecutive integer
</u>
second
x(x+2)=323
x^2 + 2x = 323
-323 -323
x^2 + 2x -323 = 0
third
try to factor -323 so it is 19 and -17
(x + 19) (x - 17) = 0
x = 19
x = -17
hope this help
Important:
The sum of the three angles inside
every triangle is always 180°.
First, look at the left triangle alone.
Two of its angles are 46° and 58° . (46° + 58° ) = 104°
That leaves (180° - 104° ) = 76° degrees for the third angle.
The third angle in that triangle is 'x'.
x = 76° .
At the point where 'x' and 'z' come together:
'x' and 'z' are a "linear pair".
Placed side-by-side, they form a straight line.
So (x + z) = 180° .
But x = 76°.
So z = (180° - 76°). z = 104° .
Now look at the the skinny triangle on the right alone.
The angle at the top is 13°, and z = 104°.
(13° + 104°) = 117° .
That leaves (180° - 117°) = 63° for the third angle.
'y' is the third angle.
y = 63° .
In a tangent segment, no part of it is in the interior of the circle. with a secant, there is a part in the interior called the chord. hope it helps
