Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the smallest number is 'x', then the other number = x +1
x*(x+1)= 420
Use distributive property
x*x + x*1 = 420
x² + x - 420 =0 ------> this is the required quadratic equation.

Explanation:
Regardless of the number of factors, the product will be negative if an odd number of factors are negative.
In the example, 3 of the factors are negative. 3 is an odd number so the product will be negative.
-2*-3*-1*1 = -6
_____
Of course, the product will be zero if any factor is zero, regardless of the signs of any other factors.
Answer:
10 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set an equation for you and your brother.
You have $90 plus $18 for every week you save (x).
90+18x
And your brother has $120 plus $15 dollars per week that he saves (x)
120+15x
You want to have the sum of the money equal so combine the two concluded statements
90+18x=120+15x
Arrange them so that you have like terms on each side
90+18x-15x=12+15x-15x
90+3x=120
90-90+3x=120-90
3x=30
x=10
"x" is our number of weeks you and your brother save so the answer is 10 weeks
Just to be sure you can use our equation and plug 10 for every time you see x to make sure our answer is right.
Answer:
You cannot divide first because in equations you need to isolate the variable, which means subtracting first. The outcome will be different if you change the order.
