Answer:
-39+5(-41)=244
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider 3 consecutive integers: (smallest) x, x+1 and x+2 (largest)
Five times the smallest means 5x
Sum of the largest and five times the smallest means x+2+5x
This sum is -244 means x+2+5x=-244
Solve this equation
x+2+5x=-244
6x+2=-244
6x=-244-2
6x=-246
x=-41
So, smallest number is -41, second is -40 and largest is -39
= -39+5(-41)=244
Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D
Its the same shape so it would be A.
and C because they are similar
6 - a = 1/3(9a - 18)
6 - a = 3a - 6
-a - 3a = -6 - 6
-4a = -12
a = -12/-4
a = 3..........one solution
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
log_x(y)+log_x(z)=log_x(yz), so logb(x-1) + logb(x+2)=logb((x-1)(x+2)). next subtract logb(8-2x) from both sides to get logb((x-1)(x+2))-logb(8-2x)=0. log_x(y) - log_x(z) = log_x(y/z). so now we have logb((x-1)(x+2)/(8-2x)). now you can put it into exponential form: (x-1)(x+2)/(8-2x)=b^0=1 now just solve for x:
(x-1)(x+2)= 8-2x, x^2 + x -2 = 8-2x, x^2 + 3x -10 = 0, (x+5)(x-2)=0 x=-5, x=2. plug both into the original equation to check which one is correct, since log_x(y) can't have a negative y, x=-5 doesnt work
