Answer:

8.94 , 7.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integers be x and x-1

then

x(x-1)=71

x^2-x-71=0

Solving the above quadratic equation by quadratic formula gives:

x= \frac{-b\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

x=\frac{\sqrt{1^{2}-4(1)(-71) } }{2}

x= 8.94 and x=-7.94

as given, integer is positive so taking

x=8.94

x-1= 7.94

Hence the two integers are= 8.94 and 7.94!

How many Solutions are in the equation 3n(2n-8)=24-6n
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

two (n = 4, and n = -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve it as follows:

First, we can divide out the common factor of 3 from each side, to get:

n(2n-8) = 8 -2n

Next, we expand, and move all the terms over to the right hand side (so that we have 0 on the LHS - as this is how we will want to solve the quadratic equation):

2n^2 - 8n - 8 +2n = 0

2n^2  - 6n  - 8  = 0.

We also see we can further simplify by dividing out the factor of 2, to get:

n^2 -3n -4. = 0

Next, as this is a quadratic, the usual next step is to factorise, to get:

(n-4)(n+1) = 0

So we see that n = 4 and n = -1 are the two solutions.

Explain, in writing, the steps in graphing and finding the solution to the system of equations.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Feel free to copy and paste:

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope and y-intercept. To do this, use y=mx+b. Plug the variables where m=1 and b=2. Slope of the line is m and y-intercept is value of b, so the slope is 1 while the y-intercept is (0,2). Any line can be graphed using two points, and using two x values to plug them into the equation to find the corresponding y values: 0=x+2 is (-2,0). Y-intercept is already known, so use the known values and make a table where x= -2,0 and y = 0,2. Now, graph the line using the slope, y-intercept, and known points (-2,0), (0,-2) to plot the graph. Coincidingly, the answer to solve your system of equations will be the x-intercept: (-2,0).
