See attachment for math work and answer.
So the so the product of two consecutive numbers is 4160 or
x(x+1)=4160
distribute
x^2+x=4160
subtract 4160 from both sides
x^2+x-4160=0
find the factor (if you want to know how, just ask in the comments)
(x-64)(x+65)=0
so the answer is x could be 64 or -65
so the number that work are 64,65 and -65,-64
The answer is -270 because its closer to 0 than any other numbers
Answer:
$10880
Step-by-step explanation:
12800-15%=10880
Selection B is appropriate.
_____
The signs of the coefficients tell you the binomial factors must have both signs positive (selections B and C only). Selection B produces an x-term that is 15x+15x=30x (as we want); selection C produces an x-term that is 45x+5x=50x (not what we want).
