Find two consecutive integers whose product is 24 more than three times the first integer

X= first integer
x+1= second consecutive integer

Product means multiply, so we'll multiply x by x+1. More than means to add and 3 times is multiplication.

x(x + 1)= 3x + 24
use distributive property to multiply x by everything in parentheses
(x*x) + (x*1)= 3x + 24
x^2 + x= 3x + 24
subtract 3x from both sides
x^2 - 2x= 24
subtract 24 from both sides
x^2 - 2x - 24= 0
factor the expression
(x-6)(x+4)= 0
x-6=0
x=6

x+4=0
x=-4

If x= 6 is the first integer, x+1= 7 is the second integer

If x= -4 is the first integer, x+1= -3 is the second integer


Hope this helps! :)

Which is the graph of g(x) = ⌈x + 3⌉?
koban [17]

Answer:

I can not tell what the graphs are but you would set up a table and plug it into the x value to calculate the y value

Step-by-step explanation:

____x_________y_______

3                  !

2                  !

1

0

-1

-2

-3

this is assuming that your brackets would be a straight lines which would be an absolute value  

if this is the case, then no matter what the answer for y is . . .Y would always be a positive number with the exception of the 3 or the negative three that would result in a 0 value

I hope this helps
