If x is the first integer, then x+1 is the second. x(x+1)=132 or x^2+x-132=0. This factors as (x-11)(x+12)=0. Thus either x=11 or x=-12
<span>So either 11 and 12 or -12 and -11 will do.</span>
Answer:
I'm super bad at math sowy!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
\(T T)/
I got X=11
Minus 7x on both sides
The equation the becomes :
-2x +179=157
Subtract 179 from both sides
Equation now is:
-2x= -22
Divide -2 on both sides
X= 11
Answer:
495
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved b using a combination. We're using a combination for this because the order in which you would pick the books doesn't matter. To solve, we would plug in the number of books, in this case 12, into the n value of the combination. Then we would plug in the number of books that would be picked, in this case 4, into the r value of the combination. Solve the combination, and you get 495.
