(I know there isnt any real problem here to solve, but heres a tip on how to solve greatest to least with decimal problems)
1. Just because a number looks big, doesn't mean it is big
Example: 1.00000000000001 < 1.1
just look at the numbers ^ and dont just hastily read it over assuming that 1.1 is smaller because it "has less digits"
2. Negative numbers are... opposite. and they are less than positive numbers
-3.4 > -4.1
Why is this? Well, if you look on a line, with the point 0 in the middle, you can see that -3.4 is not as far away from 0 as -4.1 is. So the idea is to apply opposite logic for negative numbers
I hope these tips helped!! :D
Answer:
Two consecutive integers are of the form
x and x + 1
Their product is equal to 56
x(x + 1) = 56
Solve and find the two numbers x and x + 1. The above equation may be written as follows
x2 + x - 56 = 0
Factor and solve
(x - 7)(x + 8) = 0
solutions: x = 7 , x = -8
x= - 8 is not valid since the number sought must be positive. Hence
x = 7 and x + 1 = 8 are the two consecutive numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
-41.
Explanation and show work:
Step 1 = Distributive Property ( multiplying the 2 by each term in parenthesis)
Step 2 = Addition Property ( adding like terms)
Step 3 = Addition Property (adding 34x to each side)
Step 4 = Division Property. ( dividing both sides by 17)
Answer:
A) Factor
