Factorize
(3n + 8) (3n - 8) = 0
3n + 8 = 0 and 3n - 8 = 0
Solve both for n
3n + 8 = 0
3n = -8
n = -8/3
3n - 8 = 0
3n = 8
n = 8/3
Therefore n = -8/3 and n = 8/3
55,57,59
Let the smallest integer = x
171= (x) + (x+2) + (x+4)
171= 3x + 6
3x = 165
x= 55
therefore the integers are 55, 57, 59

sorry bout the poor drawing but it should be legible
Answer:
<h2>Leah is actually wrong, because those rectangles are similar.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that similarity is about having proportional sides and congruent angles. When we have congruent sides, then those rectangles are congruent not similar.
In this case, to find the similarity, Leah should compare bases and heights thorugh division, because the ratio between heights and the ratio between bases must be equal. So, let's divide.


As you can observe, both ratios are equal.
Therefore, those rectangles are congruent.
The veretx is normally the minimum value
hack:
for f(x)=ax²+bx+c
the x value of the vertex is -b/2a
so
f(x)=1x²-16x+71
x value is -(-16)/(2*1)=16/2=8
find f(8) to find y value of vertex
f(8)=8²-16(8)+71
f(8)=64-128+71
f(8)=7
the vertex is (8,7)
the minimum value is 7
