2 consecutive odd integers.....x and x + 2.....the product means multiply....the sum means add.
x(x + 2) = 4(x + x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 4(2x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 8 - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 7
x^2 + 2x - 8x - 7 = 0
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0
x - 7 = 0 x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
x = 7
x + 1 = 0 x + 2 = -1 + 2 = 1
x = -1
there can be 2 answers for this....
(1) 7 and 9
(2) -1 and 1
Mental math is something that can be done i your head.
for example you can do 1+1 in your head and you dont need a calculator or paper to do it so i would be called mental math
Hope this helps
remember if you ever need anything and you dont want to waste points you can just post it on my pfp or message me the question
Y=10
explanation:
-4•2= -8
2•4=8
-8+8=0
y=10
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
youre trying to find when -1/4x + 3/2 = -x+ 3
so if you set it up like that and then solve for x you get 2
then, you know that 2 is your x value so just plug in x into one of the equations to get the y value
(i used -x+3 bc its easier)
-2+3=y
y= 1
so your solution is (2,1)
