Consecutive numbers are always 1 away from each other
3,4
so consecutive is represented by
x and x+1
so sum is -171
x+x+1=-171
add like terms
2x+1=-171
subtract 1 from both sides
2x=-172
divide both sides by 2
x=-86
subustitute
x+1=otehr number
x+1=-86+1=-85
answer is -85 and -86
f<span>(x)</span>=<span>x^2</span>−<span>6
</span>Replace <span>f<span>(x)</span></span> with <span>yy</span>.
<span>y=<span>x^2</span>−<span>6
</span></span>Interchange the variables.
<span>x=<span>y2</span>−6
</span>Solve for <span>yy</span><span>.
</span>
Move <span><span>−6</span><span>-6</span></span> to the right side of the equation by subtracting <span><span>−6</span><span>-6</span></span> from both sides of the equation.<span><span><span>y2</span>=6+x</span><span><span>y2</span>=6+x</span></span>Take the <span><span>square</span><span>square</span></span> root of both sides of the <span><span>equation</span><span>equation</span></span> to eliminate the exponent on the left side.<span><span>y=±<span>√<span>6+x</span></span></span><span>y=±<span>6+x
