I do not see an illustration.
558.7 , because 74 x 7.55 = 588.7 , it would be his total for the two weeks
Answer:
it's B, C, and D
Step-by-step explanation:
A. w ⋅ 462 = 16 1/2
not A
w * a ≠ l
B. 16 1/2 ⋅ w = 462
is B
l * w = a
C. 462 ÷ 16 1/2 = w
is C
a / l = w
D. 462 ÷ w = 16 1/2
is D
a / w = l
E. 16 1/2 ⋅ 462 = w
not E
l * a ≠ w
<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
