Hey there!
One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.
The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)
You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.
1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.
The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.
Consecutive means right after one another.
The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.
2 x 3 = 6
Hope this helps!
Answer:
positive
Step-by-step explanation:
if you subtract a negative number, it’s the same as adding a positive number. If you add 2 positive numbers, you get a positive number, so the expression is positive.
Answer:
8 granola bars in each box
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is 4x+5x=72
4x and 5x are like terms, so combine those 9x=72
Use the division property of equality to solve for x, x=8
To evaluate the combination we proceed as follows:
21C3
Given nCk we shall have:
n!/[(n-k)!k!]
thus plugging the values in the expression we get:
21!/[(21-3)!3!]
=21!/(18!×3!)
=1330
Answer: 1330
