Answer:

-31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first integer

x+1 is the second integer

x+2 is the third integer

x+ x+1 + x+2 = -96

Combine like terms

3x+3 = -96

Subtract 3 from each side

3x+3-3 = -96-3

3x =-99

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -99/3

x = -33

The integers are

-33

-33+1 = -32

-33+2 = -31

The largest integer is -31

Ben had knee surgery and was given a prescription with instructions to take 4 tablets twice a day for pain on day 1, then take 3

azamat

Answer:40

Step-by-step explanation:4 tablets twice a day is 8 (4*2=8). 3 tablets twice a day (3*2=6) for days 2-6 which is 5 days (6*5=30) is 30. The 7th day is 1 tablet twice a day (1*2=2). You’re multiplying the tablets Ben has to take times 2. Add them all together and you have 40.
