Half of the product of two consecutive numbers is 105. which equation can be used to solve for n, the smaller of the two numbers?

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

Half of the product of two consecutive numbers is 105.

Let smaller number be n

Then, larger number will be n+1

Multiplying by 2 on both sides, we get

n(n+1)=210

n²+n=210

n²+n-210=0

On splitting the middle term

n²+15n-14n-210=0

n(n+15)-14(n+15)=0

(n-14)(n+15)=0

either n-14=0 or n+15=0

either n=14 or n= -15

When n=14, n+1=15

when n= -15, n+1= -14

Hence, equation used to solve for n was:

65°

step-by-step explanation:

the total measure of a triangle is 180 degrees. 62 + 53 is 115.

180 - 115 = 65

a = 11 : 4

b = 38

c = 1 for every 6
