-83

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(x+1)=number

x+(x+1)=-165

2x+1=-165

-1 -1

2x=-166

/2 /2

x=-83

We can check our work by adding -83+-82=-165 because -83 would be the smaller number.

A system of equations is given below. For what value(s) of x is f(x)=g(x) ?

NARA [144]

$\large{f(x) = g(x)} \\ \large{ {x}^{2} + 3x = x + 3}$

Since we are solving the quadratic equation because the highest degree in the equation is second. We arrange in the form of ax²+bx+c = 0.

$\large{ {x}^{2} + 3x - x - 3 = 0}$

Combine like terms.

$\large{ {x}^{2} + 2x - 3 = 0}$

Solve the equation by factoring.

$\large{(x + 3)(x - 1) = 0} \\ \large{x = - 3,1}$

Hence the values of x that make f(x) = g(x) are -3 and 1.

Answer

x = -3,1
