An integer is a whole number. Sum means to add and since they are consecutive, there is only a difference of 1 between them.
1) 21 + 23: not consecutive
2) 23+24= 47: has to be at least 46
3) 22+23= 45: has to be at least 46
4) 24+25= 49: has to be at least 46
So we have two possibilities: either #2 or #4. Find least possible pair of integers.
x= first integer
x+1= second integer
x + (x+1) >= 46
2x + 1 >=46
2x>=45
x>=22.5
Answer:
The first integer has to be greater than or equal to 22.5. Since integers are whole numbers, round up to the next whole number. The least possible integers are #2) 23 and 24.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 7) - 3 = 5 (given)
2x + 14 - 3 = 5 (Distributive Property)
2x + 14 = 8 (Addition Property of Equality)
2x = -6 (Subtraction Property of Equality)
x = -3 (Division Property of Equality)
All you have to do is divide each one by its other number. For example, 5.60 for 8 is the same as one for 0.70. We accomplish this by dividing the 5.60 by 8.
So...
0.70
0.80
0.90
0.75
The first choice is the lowest.
