Your answer should have been 3850 in^2
1^2/5^2 = 1/25
1/25 = 154/x
1x= 154 (25)
1x/1= 3850/1
x= 3850
I really dont understant your question. but you are right that negative 8 that it would be minus. <span>In </span>mathematics<span>, a </span>negative<span> number is a real number that is less than zero. </span>Negative<span> numbers represent opposites. If positive represents movement to the right, </span>negative<span> represents movement to the left.</span>
<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
You forgot the image , here if you want some free points to repost it just go to a point put a bogus answer in one of my questions . That mistake happens to me all the time
Y=10(3)^3-12(3)
y=270-36
y=234
