What is x for negative 8(x plus 2 ) plus 5x equals negative 4

1 answer:

4 0

- 8 ( x + 2 ) + 5x = - 4

Start by distributing.....

- 8 x - 16 + 5x = - 4

Combine like terms.....

- 3 x - 16 = - 4

Add 16 to both sides.....

- 3x = 12

Divide both sides by -3 to get x by its self.....

x = - 4 is the answer

Prove that the product of any two consecutive natural numbers is even.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers are 'n' and 'n+1'

Thus the product of the 2 numbers is given by

$Product=n(n+1)\\\\$

We know that the sum of 'n' consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 is

$S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\\\\\therefore n(n+1)=2\times S_n............(i)$

Thus from equation 'i' we can write

$Product=2\times S_n$

As we know that any number multiplied by 2 is even thus we conclude that the product of 2 consecutive numbers is even.
