4. Let the numbers be x - 2, x, and x + 2, where x is an odd number.
2(x² - 4) - 4x = (x + 2)² + 21
2x² - 8 - 4x = x² + 4x + 4 + 21
2x² - 4x - 8 = x² + 4x + 25
x² - 8x - 33 = 0
(x - 11)(x + 3) = 0
x = 11, or -3
When x = 11, x - 2 = 9, x + 2 = 13
When x = -3, x - 2 = -5, x + 2 = -1
Explanation: You are on the right track. However, rather than having three unknown variables, try to reduce your working out to one unknown variable. Since you know they are consecutive odd numbers, you can simply let x be the middle term and the other two be + and - 2, provided x is an odd number.
That will reduce your variable issues, and helps as the first and third provide a difference of two squares, and this works out very nicely.
Q5: is essentially the same process. Let your variables be something in the form of one unknown variable, and you should be okay from there. Let me know if you're stuck.

Total cost = a + (13a/100)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the price of the monster truck be 'a'
He should pay 13% tax
Total cost = price of the truck + tax
Total cost = a + (13a/100)
The equation to represent the total cost is
Total cost= a + (13a/100)
Dale drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 7 hours. when dale drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 5 hours. if his average rate was 18 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does dale live from the mountains? do not do any rounding.
Answer:
Dale live 315 miles from the mountains
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y be the speed of Dale to the mountains
Time taken by Dale to the mountains=7 hrs
Therefore distance covered by dale to the mountain = speed × time = 7y ......eqn 1
Time taken by Dale back home = 5hours
Since it speed increased by 18 miles per hour back home it speed = y+18
So distance traveled home =speed × time = (y+18)5 ...... eqn 2
Since distance cover is same in both the eqn 1 and eqn 2.
Eqn 1 = eqn 2
7y = (y+18)5
7y = 5y + 90
7y - 5y = 90 (collection like terms)
2y = 90
Y = 45
Substitute for y in eqn 1 to get distance away from mountain
= 7y eqn 1
= 7×45
= 315 miles.
∴ Dale leave 315 miles from the mountains
