First part:Quote:
When the product of these numbers is subtracted from 47 times the first number x, the answer is 360
- When the product of these numbers
What is this product?
It is x(x+1)
- 47 times the first number x
What is this? This is simply 47x
- When the product of these numbers is subtracted from 47 times the first number x
This means you have 47x - x(x+1)
- the answer is 360
This means:
47x - x(x+1) = 360
