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.

Write an equation that passes through (2,4) is parallel to the line 3x-2y=-10
vodomira [7]

Answer:

y = 3x/2 + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's solve for y in the given equation

Subtract 3x from both sides

3x - 2y = -10

- 3x         - 3x

-2y = -3x - 10

Divde both sides by -2

-2y/-2 = (-3x - 10)/-2

y = 3x/2 + 5

The slop of the parallel equation will have to be 3/2

y = 3x/2 + b

Plug in the given coordinates

4 = 3(2)/2 + b

4 = 1 + b

Subtract 1 from both sides

4 = 1 + b

- 1.  - 1

b = 3

y = 3x/2 + 3
