Step-by-step explanation:
If we call the number x, we can write an equation to solve:
6(x - 4) = 12
6 × x = 6x
6 × -4 = -24
So you get 6x - 24 = 12
6x - 24 = 12
+ 24
6x = 12
÷ 6
x = 2
And your final answer is 2, I hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers are 2x and 2x + 2.
<u>We have:</u>
- (2x + 2x + 2)² = (2x)² + (2x + 2)² + 48
- 4(2x + 1)² = 4x² + 4(x + 1)² + 48
- (2x + 1)² = x² + (x + 1)² + 12
- 4x² + 4x + 1 = x² + x² + 2x + 1 + 12
- 2x² + 2x - 12 = 0
- x² + x - 6 = 0
- (x - 2)(x + 3) = 0
- x = 2, x = -3
<u>The numbers are:</u>
The first mistake was made in step 1 because they took out the x’s it should be 10x-25+2x+8=43
