Answer:

-58, -57, -56

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first integer is x,

the second integer must be x + 1 (because it's consecutive)

and the third must be x + 2

Therefore:

3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342:

3 * (x + (x+2) ) = -342

Combine like terms in parentheses

3 * (2x + 2) = -342

Distribute the 3 to the 2x and the 2:

6x + 6 = -342

Subtract 6 on both sides

6x = -348

Divide by 6 on both sides

x = -58

x + 1 = -57

x + 2 = -56

-58, -57, -56

Check:

3 * (-58 + -56) = 3 * -114 = -342

Part A: The area of a square is (16x2 − 8x + 1) square units. Determine the length of each side of the square by factoring the a
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

16x^2 − 8x + 1

(4x)^2 -8x +1

Factor

This is a perfect square trinomial

a^2 -2ab +b^2 = (a-b)(a-b)

(4x)^2 -8x +1 = (4x-1) (4x-1)

The area of a square is given by

A = s^2

(4x-1) ^2 = s^2

4x-1 = s

The side length is 4x-1

(81x^2 − 4y^2)

(9x)^2 - (2y)^2

This is the difference of squares

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b) (a+b)

(9x-2) (9x+2)

The area of a rectangle is

A = l*w

(81x^2 − 4y^2)  = (9x-2) (9x+2)

The dimensions are (9x-2) (9x+2)
