151 * 5 = 755
23,000 - 755 = 22,245
It'll be worth $22,245 in 5 years.
285$ divided by 5$ = 57, 57 would be the correct answer.
The consecutive positive integers would be: x and (x+1),
We would have to solve the following equation to find these numbers:
x(x+1)-[x+(x+1)]=29
x²+x-2x-1=29
x²-x-30=0
x=[1⁺₋√(1+120)]/2
x=(1⁺₋11)/2
We have two possible solutions:
x₁=(1-11)/2=-5 then: (x+1)=-5+1=-4 This is not the solution.
x₂=(1+11)/2=6 then: (x+1)=6+1=7 This solution is right.
Answer: the numbers would be 6 and 7.
