Four consecutive integers... n, n+1, n+2, n+3.
The product of the 1st and 4th is four less than twice the 1st multiplied by the 4th.
n(n+3)=2n(n+3)-4 perform indicated multiplications...
n^2+3n=2n^2+6n-4 subtract n^2 from both sides
3n=n^2+6n-4 subtract 3n from both sides
n^2+3n-4=0 factor
n^2-n+4n-4=0
n(n-1)+4(n-1)=0
(n+4)(n-1)=0, and since n>0
n=1
So the four numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4
check...
1(4)=2(1)4-4
4=8-4
4=4

Answer:
(i) x° = 70°, y° = 20°
(ii) ∠BAC ≈ 50.2°
(iii) 120
(iv) 300
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) Angle x° is congruent with the one marked 70°, as they are "alternate interior angles" with respect to the parallel north-south lines and transversal AB.
x = 70
The angle marked y° is the supplement to the one marked 160°.
y = 20
__
(ii) The triangle interior angle at B is x° +y° = 70° +20° = 90°, so triangle ABC is a right triangle. With respect to angle BAC, side BA is adjacent, and side BC is opposite. Then ...
tan(∠BAC) = BC/BA = 120/100 = 1.2
∠BAC = arctan(1.2) ≈ 50.2°
__
(iii) The bearing of C from A is the sum of the bearing of B from A and angle BAC.
bearing of C = 70° +50.2° = 120.2°
The three-digit bearing of C from A is 120.
__
(iv) The bearing of A from C is 180 added to the bearing of C from A:
120 +180 = 300
The three-digit bearing of A from C is 300.
11/3, 25/7, 18/5. Multiply to find common denominators.
The angle between the legs of length 16 and 18 has measure 90 + 55 = 145 degrees.
Now use the law of cosines: it says
satisfies

and solving for
gives

so the answer is C.
3000 for 9 months...plus the interest of 185.63
(3000 + 185.63) / 9 = 3185.63 / 9 = 353.96 per month (and thats rounded)
