The answer is : impossible
<span>The next number should be 4. If you look at every other number, even and odd alternate. 2 is even, 7 is odd, etc. Since 9 is odd, the next number should be even. To figure out what number specifically, you will want to break up the numbers into three columns. 2 3 __
7 12 17
8 9 10 From here, you can see that the pattern will be adding 1 for the top row, 5 for the middle row, and 1 for the bottom row. Since the unknown number is on the top right of the first row, you will add 1 to 3, and the answer is 4.</span>

Get the x terms by themselves on one side and a constant on the other side of the equal sign...
4x^2-8x=1 make the leading coefficient equal to one...
x^2-2x=1/4 now halve the linear coefficient, -2 in this case, square it, and add that value to both sides of the equation...-2/2=-1, -1^2=1 so
x^2-2x+1=1+1/4
x^2-2x+1=5/4 now the left side is a perfect square...
(x-1)^2=5/4 take the square root of both sides...
x-1=±√(5/4) add 1 to both sides
x=1±√(5/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x -y =2
-y = -4x + 2
y = 4x -2
slope = 4
perpendicular slope is negative inverse
so -1/4
y- -2 = -1/4(x - 4)
y+2 = -1/4x +1
y = -1/4x -1
