So the so the product of two consecutive numbers is 4160 or
x(x+1)=4160
distribute
x^2+x=4160
subtract 4160 from both sides
x^2+x-4160=0
find the factor (if you want to know how, just ask in the comments)
(x-64)(x+65)=0
so the answer is x could be 64 or -65
so the number that work are 64,65 and -65,-64
Answer:
- 13x² - 19x + 23
- -16x +17
Step-by-step explanation:
1 . (4x² - 9x + 16) + (7 + 9x² - 10x)
4x² - 9x + 16 + 7 + 9x² - 10x
13x² - 19x + 23
2 . (-2x + 6) - (14x - 11)
-2x + 6 - 14x + 11
-16x +17
1/2 would not be a useful benchmark to compare these 2 fractions because both of them are greater than half. The benchmark fraction 1/2 is most useful when one fraction is less than half and the other more than 1/2. 5/8 is more than 4/8(1/2), and 9/10 is more than 5/10(1/2).
