20. The Punong Barangay in your place noticed that Step 3: Solution:
the garbage is not properly disposed because Step 4: Final Answer/Conclusion:
the garbage bins available are too small. As the Answer:
chairman of the health committee, you were Step 1: Representation:
tasked to prepare garbage bins which can hold
24 ft3 of garbage. However, the location where Let x be the smaller integer and x + 1 be the next larger
the garbage bins will be placed is limited. How integer.
will you maximize the area? Step 2: Equation Formulation:
A. Find the dimensions of the planned bin
( x )( x +1) = 90
according to the capacity given.
Step 3: Solution:
B. Make trial and error bins until the desired
x 2+ x = 90
volume will be achieved.
C. Solve for the volume and use it in creating x 2+ x – 90 = 0
bins. ( x +10)( x−9)= 0
D. Find the area of the location of the bins. x = -10 ; x = 9
if x = 9, then x + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10
Part B. PROBLEM SOLVING: Solve the following if x = -10, then x + 1 = -10 + 1 = -9
problems and follow the instructions given in each. Step 4: Final Answer/Conclusion:
The two consecutive integers are 9 and 10,
1. Factor completely and show solutions. Encircle
or -10 and -9.
or box your final set of factors.
