The sum of two consecutive integers is -23.
Let the larger number = x
smaller number = x - 1
Sum = -23
=> x + x - 1 = -23
=> 2x - 1 = -23
=> 2x = -23 + 1 = -22
=> x = -22/2
=> x = -11
Larger number is -11
(8x)^2 = 1
64 x^2 = 1
x^2 = 1/64
x = 1/8
Answer
The positive value of x that makes the equation true is x = 1/8
Answer:
112 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rhombus is equal to half of the product of the diagonals, so it is 14 * 2 * 8 / 2 = 14cm * 8cm = 112 cm^2.
Other point of view: It is the sum of areas of two triangles of area 14*8/2. So the area is 14*8.
