we have
Factor the leading coefficient
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side
Divide both sides by 
Rewrite as perfect squares
Taking the square roots of both sides (square root property of equality)
Remember that
<u>the answer is</u>
The solutions are
Two consecutive numbers can be defined as x and y, but a better choice is x and x+1. . The product of the two numbers is: x(x+1). We are told this 41 more than the sum. The sum of the two numbers is: x + (x+1). . So the equation we need to solve is: . x(x+1) = x+(x+1)+41 . x^2 +x = 2x + 42 . subtract 2x from both sides . x^2 +x -2x = 2x-2x + 42 x^2 -x = 42 . subtract 42 from both sides . x^2 -x -42 = 42-42 = 0
The 4 marked x is 10 times greater than the 4 marked y. That is because it is one place in front of the other 4, making it 10 times greater. If you need any help with understand this, please let me know and I will further assist you on this question! Hope I was able to help.

Answer:
760 attendees
Step-by-step explanation:
40% of the attendees is 304. That means you can add 304 to 304 (304 x 2) to get 608. To get the last 20%, divide 304 by 2, because 40(%) divided by 2 is 20(%). The answer to that is 152. Now, add it all up. 608 + 152 = 760.
In conclusion, there were 760 attendees at the carnival.
