X = first integer, y = second integer (right after x)
since y is right after x, we can say
y = x+1
If the product of the two integers (x and y) is 42, then
x*y = 42
x*( y ) = 42
x*( x+1 ) = 42 ... y is replaced with x+1
x*x + x*1 = 42
x^2 + x = 42
x^2 + x - 42 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 6) = 0 ... factor
x + 7 = 0 or x - 6 = 0
x = -7 or x = 6
The result must be positive as the problem states it, so we toss out x = -7
The only answer is x = 6
If x = 6, then
y = x+1
y = 6+1
y = 7
The two consecutive numbers are 6 and 7
The final answer is 6
Sure enough, 6*7 = 42 checks out
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the ^3 on top
(27 
)
distribute the ^ -9 on bottom, only to what is in the parenthesis
(27 
)
the 27's cross out, the 's cross out
/ is left
move the to the top of fraction to change its sign

Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
9, 13, 17, 21, 25
We are adding 4 each time
9+4 = 13
13+4 =17
17+4 = 21
The common difference =4
a1 = 9
The formula is
an = a1+d(n-1) where n is the term number
an = 9+4(n-1)
We want the 10th term
a10 = 9+4(10-1)
= 9+4(9)
= 9+36
= 45
Answer: The cats cost more
