If x-1 is a natural number then the next natural number is x-1 +1= X Which is the next natural number What is (x-1) * (X+1). A, b,c are any three consecutive natural number write the relationship between the product of a and c and the square of b.

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The next natural number is x+1.

( x - 1)(x + 1) = x^2 - 1.

Let a = x-1, b = x and c = x+1 ( as they are consecutive numbers).

Product of a and c = ac = x^2 - 1 (as above).

b^2 = x^2.

so ac = x^2 - 1 = b^2 - 1

ac = b^2 - 1

answer: we have from thales theorem that because the 2 triangles are similar, jm/jk=jn/jl. we have that jn=x, jl=x+24 and that jm=7 and jk=28. substituting, we get:

x/(x+24)=7/28.

hence, x/(x+24)=1/4. this leads to 4x=x+24, 3x=24, x=8. we have solved for x=jn and this is equal to 8.

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3
