Use a let statement
first
let x and x + 2 be the number so you write it like this
<u>let x = the first consecutive integer
</u><u>let x + 2 = the second consecutive integer
</u>
second
x(x+2)=323
x^2 + 2x = 323
-323 -323
x^2 + 2x -323 = 0
third
try to factor -323 so it is 19 and -17
(x + 19) (x - 17) = 0
x = 19
x = -17
hope this help
It's along the number line
1. We assume, that the number 92.4 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
<span>2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 92.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 92.4=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know, that x is 150% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=150%. </span>
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 92.4=100%
2) x=150%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
92.4/x=100%/150%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 150% of 92.4
92.4/x=100/150
<span>(92.4/x)*x=(100/150)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>92.4=0.666666666667*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (0.666666666667) to get x
<span>92.4/0.666666666667=x </span>
<span>138.6=x </span>
x=138.6
<span>now we have: </span>
<span>150% of 92.4=138.6</span>
Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Secants ad Segments Theorem we can say;
(x + 7) (7) = (15 + 6) (6)
7x + 49 = (21) (6)
7x + 49 = 126
7x = 77
x = 11
Hope this helps!
