We can say that x is the largest number.

So the sum is x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) + (x - 3) + (x - 4) = -5

Now solve for x:

x + x + x + x + x - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 = -5

5x - 10 = -5

5x = 5

x = 1

So the largest number is 1.

Check: 1 + 0 + -1 + -2 + -3   =   -2 + -3   =   -5 so 1 is correct.

Explain why it is useful to write linear equations in equivalent form. what does each form reveal?
defon

However, point slope equations can be awkward to use in some algebraic operations. In such cases, it may be helpful to convert the equation into a different form, the standard form. The standard form of an equation is Ax + By = C. In this kind of equation, x and y are variables and A, B, and C are integers.

What is the least common denominator of 10/3m²n 1/6mn⁴
Dafna11 [192]
I'm not entirely positive about the answer, but I think I know what it's asking.

Least common denominator of fractions and variables such as this mean "What do both numbers have in common?"

10/3 and 1/6 can be on the same page if we multiply 10/3 by 2.  This gets 20/6. 20/6 and 1/6 have a common denominator of 6, and our answer for the fraction is 1/6.

We aren't done yet.  The least common denominator of the m values is just m, and same for n.

So I believe the answer is 1/6mn.  I hope this helps, and I hope that I'm right about this.  If you have further inquiries, don't hesitate to let me know!
