No you can't simplify it.
To make a square for x²+bx=c, add(

)²on both side
in this case, b is-3/4, half of b is -3/8, and (-3/8)² is 9/64, so you add 9/64 to both side.

We are asked to find the two integers, given that they are consecutive, and their sum is 65.

- Consecutive integers are right next to each other, like 12 and 13. or 65 and 66.
Let the first integer be x, and let the second integer be x+1.
Their sum is 65. Let's set up our equation:

Combine like terms:

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equal sign:

Divide both sides by 2:

To find the second integer, subtract the first integer from the sum of the two integers:


The integers are: 33 and 32.
Hope it helps you out! :D

20 yards
take 5 1/8 and make that into 40/8 and then you will divide 40 into 8 and it = 5 so then you do 4x5=20
