SOLVING:
X + (X + 1) + (X + 2) + (X + 3) + (X + 4) = - 75
X + X + 1 + X + 2 + X + 3 + X + 4 = - 75
5X + 10 = - 75
5X = - 75 - 10
5X = - 85
X =
\frac{ \textbf{-85}}{ \textbf{5}}
X = - 17  ===> The first number.

- 17 + 1 = - 16  ===> The second number.
- 17 + 2 = - 15  ===> The third number.
- 17 + 3 = - 14  ===> The fourth number.
- 17 + 4 = - 13  ===> The fifth number.

TESTING:

-17-16-15-14-13=-75\\ \\\boxed{-75}=\boxed{-75}\quad\checkmark\ Correct.
GOOD LUCK...!!

Hello! I can help you with this! Do -75/5 to get -15. -15 will be your middle number. So for consecutive integers, -13 + -14 + -15 + -16 + -17 = 75. Those are five consecutive integers that have a sum of 75. The lowest of 5 integers is -17, because it’s the smallest of them all and the furthest to the left of the number line. A line further to the left of the number line means it’s smaller. Therefore, the rest of the five integers is -17.

Solve for r.<br> –5 ≥ 5 (r+5)
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

-6 ≥ r

Step-by-step explanation:

–5 ≥ 5 (r+5)

Divide each side by 5

–5/5 ≥ 5/5 (r+5)

–1 ≥  (r+5)

Subtract 5 from each side

-1-5 ≥ r+5-5

-6 ≥ r

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Tim read 81 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he read 3 pages on Monday and tripled the amount of pages he red based of off the amount of pages he read the previous day, he would have read 3 pages on Monday, 9 pages on Tuesday, 27 pages on Wednesday, and 81 pages on Thursday.

Monday: 3

Tuesday: 3 x 3 = 9

Wednesday: 9 x 3 = 27

Thursday: 27 x 3 = 81

I hope this helps you! :D
