I'm assuming we have to solve for "p" here...
By making an equation, we will get...
(p/4)-4=10
Add four on both sides...
(p/4)=14
Remove parentheses and multiply by four on both sides.
p=56
Answer:
a = 1 and b = - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the right side of the identity
x(ax² - 3x + b) - 3(ax² - 3x + b)
= ax³ - 3x² + bx - 3ax² + 9x - 3b
= ax³ - x²(3 + 3a) + x(b + 9) - 3b
Equate the coefficients of like terms on both sides of the identity
x³ terms → ax³ with x³ ⇒ a = 1
x terms → - x with (b + 9)x ⇒ b + 9 = - 1 ⇒ b = - 10

Let x be the 1st odd number, and x+2 the second odd consecutive number:
(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
x² + 2x = 6(2x + 2) - 1
x² + 2x = 12x +12 - 1
And x² - 10x - 11=0
Solve this quadratic expression:
x' = [+10 +√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2 and x" = [+10 -√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2
x' = [10 + √144]/2 and x" = [10 - √64]/2
x' = (10+12)/2 and x" = (10-12)/2
x = 11 and x = -1
We have 2 solutions that satisfy the problem:
1st for x = 11, the numbers at 11 and 13
2nd for x = - 1 , the numbers are -1 and +1
If you plug each one in the original equation :(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
you will find that both generates an equlity
Each 1/8 is 0.125, so 7*0.125 in relation to 7/8 as a decimal is 0.875. Answer C.
