Answer:

13 and 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have two consecutive integers.

Let's call the first integer a.

Since the integers are consecutive, the other integer must be (a+1) (one more than the last one).

We know that the sum of the greatest integer (or a+1) and twice the lesser integer (a) is 40. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

(a+1)+2(a)=40

The first term represents the greatest integer. The second term represents 2 times the lesser integer. And together, they equal 40.

Solve for a. Combine like terms:

a+1+2a=40\\3a+1=40

Subtract 1 from both sides. The 1s on the left cancel:

(3a+1)-1=(40)-1\\3a=39

Divide both sides by 3:

\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{39}{3}\\a=13

Therefore, a or the first integer is 13.

And the second integer is 14.

And we can check:

14+2(13)=14+26=40

Let the two consecutive integers be x and x + 1.

<u>According to the question, </u>

★ Greatest integer = x + 1

★ Lesser integer = x

The sum of the greatest integer and twice the lesser integer is 40. [ Given ]

⇒ ( x + 1 ) + 2 ( x ) = 40

⇒ x + 1 + 2x = 40

⇒ 3x + 1 = 40

⇒ 3x = 40 - 1

⇒ 3x = 39

⇒ x = 39/3

⇒ x = 13

★ x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

Write a linear equation in slope intercept form that passes through the points (-5, -8)
damaskus [11]

Answer:

y=4/5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use point-slope formula then turn to slope intercept form

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)  →   y = mx + b

y--8=4/5(x--5)

y+8=4/5x+4

  -8             -8

y=4/5x-4

Is this true or false!!!
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

This is true because the basic graph of a fifth degree polynomial with a positive coefficient goes right and up forever(encapsulating y-values until infinity) and left and down forever(encapsulating y-values until negative infinity). This means the range is all real numbers.

Below is a graph to comprehend it more visually:
