<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
Answer:
18-4y
Step-by-step explanation:
18 -4y because your start with 18, and each day 4 get eaten. so day 2 (4*2) there will be 8 less, etc, etc
Answer:
<h2>brainiest me</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
a dart thrown at the board is equally likely to land anywhere on the board. What is the probability that the dart lands within the center square? Solution. If the side lengths of the dart board and the side lengths of the center square are all then the side length of the legs of the triangles are . Use Geometric probability by...
Answer:
4, 4√3
Step-by-step explanation:
In a 30-60-90 triangle:
The leg opposite of the 30-degree angle is 1/2 of the hypotenuse: 8/2 = 4
The longer leg is √3 times the shorter leg: 4*√3 = 4√3
Check work: 4^2+(4√3)^2 = 8^2 --> 16+48 = 64 --> 64 = 64
Alright! Given that C(x) is Cost(Students) = 558, we can eliminate:
2. 558 students paid to attend the event.
5. The event generated $124 from student revenue.
Now, in order to find the cost per student we simply divide 124 on both sides:

124 cancels on the left and 558/124 is 4.5 or $4.50.
Since we just determined the cost of one student, we can eliminate 3.
To check if 124 students paid, we simply add the cost to the equation and check:
4.5(124) = 558
558 = 558 √
It checks out, so we determined that both 1 and 4 are correct.
