Ok thanks for letting me know !
Solve for x:
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27
3x + 6 = 27
3x = 27 - 6
3x = 21
3x / 3 = 21 / 3
x = 7
The integers:
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 27
7 + (7 + 2) + (7 + 4) = 27
7 + 9 + 11 = 27
27 = 27
The integers are 7, 9 , 11
Answer: -2-8= -10
4+1 = 5 (the negative switches to a positive)
Your slope equals -10/5. You can look at this in a fraction for when you might use it later in point slope or slope intercept form, or you can just simplify it to -2. It might also be helpful to remember the numerator as the rise and the denominator as run, or “rise over run” if you need to graph it.
Slope = -10/5 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope, often referred to as the variable “m” can be found by solving y2-y1/x2-x1. You can do it the opposite way, though make sure the y-values are on the top.
First, recall that

So if
, then
.
Second,

We know that
and
, which means we should also have
.
Third,

but as we've already shown, we need to have
, so we pick the negative root.
Finally,

Unfortunately, none of the given answers match, so perhaps I've misunderstood one of the given conditions... In any case, this answer should tell you everything you need to know to find the right solution from the given options.
