It’s D that is the answer
Let the four consecutive numbers be x,x+1,x+2,x+3.
Now the product of second and third number=(x+1)(x+2)=x²+3x+2=k
Product of first and fourth number=x(x+3)=x²+3x=k-2
A.T.Q
product of second and third number= product of first and fourth number+2
Hence proved
To get the answer we have to tranform into y=ax+b form
-2x+4y=68 /+2x
4y=2x+68 /:4
y=

- its the result
13x+4y=284 /-13x
4y=-13x+284 /:4
y=

y=-

- its the result
The volume of a stack of identical circular drink coasters, each 1 centimeter thick, can be found using the function v(r)=8(3.14)(r)^2, where r is the radius of a coaster. What does the constant 8 in the function represent?
The constant 8 represents the height of the stack and hence the number of coasters.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
(x – 5)^2 + 3(x – 5) + 9 = 0
This is a quadratic equation in x - 5.
Let u = x - 5, then the quadratic equation becomes:
u^2 + 3u + 9 = 0
We can use the quadratic formula to solve for u.





Since u = x - 5, now we substitute x - 5 for u and solve for x.
