You can make some algebraic equations and solve it.
The first would be:

The second would be

You can then rearrange the second into

And subsitute it into the first like so:

After that, distribute the y into the parantheses.

Subtract the 21 on both sides and multiply by -1 on both sides:

You then can factor it into:

With Zero Product Property, we can determine y to be either -3 and 7. Since the variables are interchangable, you can say the same about x, just that whatever x is, y must be the other value.
Thus, the answer is 7 and -3.
Hey there!
One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.
The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)
You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.
1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.
The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.
Consecutive means right after one another.
The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.
2 x 3 = 6
Hope this helps!
-x + 4 = 2x + 1
add x to both sides
4 = 3x + 1
subtract 1 from both sides
3 = 3x
dived 3 from both sides
1 = x
Answer: Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
14 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If you need to take 1 pill every 3.5 hours then this suggest that the effects of 1 pill lasts for 3.5 hours.
Therefore, if you take 4 pills then they will last: 4 x 3.5 = 14 hours
