Answer:
X = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is what I am picturing (not to scale)
A ----------------B-----------C
We are given the information of AB (which equals 3x + 1), BC (which equals 4x - 5), and AC (which equals 8x - 9).
With reference to the line, AB + BC = AC
So,
3x + 1 + 4x - 5 = 8x - 9
7x - 4 = 8x - 9
5 = x
The answer would be 1,500 because 68 is higher than 50 so it will round up to 1,500.
One number: x
Its consecutive: x + 1
Product:
x(x+1)=121
x² + x - 121 = 0
Δ = 1² - 4.1.(-121)
Δ = 1+484
Δ = 485
As square root of 485 is not integer, do not exist two consecutive numbers with product of 121
