Answer:
256−1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's use the Distributive Property to make our equation easier to solve. Remember that the Distributive Property says the following:
Using this, we can multiply the 7 out to the 
and 3. This gives us:
Now, let's solve for :
We can see that there is one solution for this equation because is equal to one definite value after solving. Thus, our answer is A, one solution.
Answer: n= 32
Jakes started with 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the initial integer.
Step 1: take the reciprocal.
Reciprocal of n = 1/n
Step 2: double the number obtained in step 1
= 2×1/n = 2/n
Step 3: take the reciprocal of the number obtained in step 2.
Reciprocal of 2/n = n/2
Since he ended up with 16
n/2 = 16
n = 2×16 = 32
Consecutive numbers would be like 2 and 3, or 7 and 8.
All we need to do is keep multiplying pairs of consecutive numbers until we get above 50.
1 × 2 = 2 (that's one.)
2 × 3 = 6 (two)
3 × 4 = 12 (three)
4 × 5 = 20 (four)
5 × 6 = 30 (five)
6 × 7 = 42 (six...)
<em>7 × 8 = 56 > 50</em>
We have a total of 6 numbers that equal the product of 2 consecutive intergers<em>
