Two consecutive negative integers are n and n+1.  We are told that the product of these two integers is 600 so:

n(n+1)=600

n^2+n=600

n^2+n-600=0

n^2+25n-24n-600=0

n(n+25)-24(n+25)=0

(n-24)(n+25)=0, since we are told that n is negative...

n=-25

(...-25(-24)=600 so -25 is the value of the lesser integer)

Prime factors of 600 are 2*2*2*3*5*5

2*2*2*3 = 24
and 5*5 = 25

so the 2 negative integers are -24 and -25

and lesser integer is -25.

2/3 x 60 = (2 * 60)/3 = (120)/3 = 40

A. 40 mph is your answer.

The gas tank of a 2013 Honda Accord holds 17.2 gallons. How many pounds of carbon dioxide are produced by burning an entire tank
cricket20 [7]
One gallon of gasoline (6.3 lbs.) produces about 20 lbs. of carbon dioxide. This may seem weird and untrue, however, most of that weight comes from the oxygen in the air. Following the math on this means that we multiply 17.2 gallons of gas by 20 lbs. of co2 per gallon of gas burned. 
This gives us the answer of 344 lbs. of carbon dioxide burned per tank of gas. (From a 2013 Honda Accord)
