The product of two consecutive integers is 72. the equation x(x + 1) = 72 represents the situation, where x represents the smaller integer. which equation can be factored and solved for the smaller integer?

The smallest integer is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

applying distributive law in Right hand side and subtracting 72 from both hand sides we get

Now we are required to find the factors of 72 , such that their difference is 1. The factors are 8 and 9 and 9-8=1. Hence they satisfies our requirements. Now we split the middle term like

taking x and 8 as GCF from brackets

Hence  

if

if  

Hence our answer is 8 and 9

22 and 22

step-by-step explanation:

10 plus 12 equals 22.

12 plus 10 also equals 22 because regardless of what order they're in, they're gonna equal the same thing.

step-by-step explanation:

use pothagarean therom

a^2+b^2=c^2 so first ac

acm is a right triangle because c= 90°

and am (the hypotenuse or c) =16+9 =25

but there is not enough info we need another angle or side length
