The product of two consecutive even integers is 120. Find the interfere
1 answer:
the correct question is
<span>The product of two consecutive even integers is 120. Find the integers
let
x-----------> first even integer
x+2-------> second consecutive even integer
we know that
x*(x+2)=120-------> x</span>²+2x-120=0
<span>
using a graph tool----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=10
therefore
</span>first even integer is 10
second consecutive even integer is (10+2)----> 12
<span>
the answer is
10 and 12

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:
"Isolate the variable using inverse operations."
»»————- ★ ————-««
Here’s why:
To solve for a variable, we would have to isolate it on one side.
To isolate it, we would use inverse operations on both sides on the equation until the variable is isolated.
There are no like terms in the given equation.
