It is true since you’re multiplying the same number on both the sides
Given:
Seven times the smaller of two consecutive even integers is the same as -300 minus 4 times the larger integer.
To find:
The integers
.
Solution:
Let the smaller even integer be x.
So, larger even integer is x+2 because they are consecutive even integers.
Seven times the smaller integer = 7x
-300 minus 4 times the larger integer = -300-4(x+2)
Now,




Divide both sides by 11.


So, the smaller even integer is -28.

So, the larger even integer is -26.
Ryan will need 6 pounds of meatloaf. If you want to know how I got my answer, my work along with the answer will be shown below:
3/4 pound=1 small meatloaf
*Multiply 3/4 pound by 8 because he wants to make 8 small meat loaves, or just add 3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4*.
#1 way (recommended): 3/4*8/1=24/4....=6 pounds
#2 way: 3/4+3/4=6/4+3/4=9/4+3/4=12/4+3/4=15/4+3/4=18/4+3/4=21/4+3/4=24/4=6 pounds
I hope this helps! Let me know if you still need help!
