Let x is the first no. then the other no. will obviously be (x+1)
according to question,
(x+1)²- x²= 15
x² +2x+1 - x² = 15 ( using (a+b)²= a²+ b² + 2ab )
2x + 1 = 15
2x = 14
x = 7
hence numbers are x = 7 and x +1 = 7+1 = 8
also 8²-7² = 64-49 = 15
hence the numbers are 7 and 8
hope it helped
Answer:
x= -2/3 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x²-16x-12
3x²-18x+2x-12
(3x²-18x)+(2x-12)
3x(x-6)+2(x-6)
(3x+2)(x-6)
x= -2/3 and 6
So first, I would assign the small van a variable for how many people it can hold, or x.
So since it makes two trips,
2x
And since the other van can hold six more people,
2x + x + 6
And 57 people are transported:
3x + 6 = 57
We can then solve.
3x = 57 - 6
3x = 51
x = 17
So since we now know a small can hold 17 people, and we know that the larger van has 6 more seats, we can just say
17 + 6 = 23
So the large van has 23 seats.
