Answer:
1. x = -7
2. y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
-3x - 5 = 16 add 5 to both sides
-3x = 21 divide -3 to both sides
x = -7
2.
-4(y-2) = 12 distribute -4
-4y + 8 = 12 subtract 8 from both sides
-4y = 4 divide -4 to both sides
y = -1
SECOND PAGE
1. x = 9
2. y = -3
It's C. 48. Hope this helps. Why does my answer have to be long? Now THAT I will never know.
Answer:
The numbers are -14,-13 and -12
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>
Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the first, twice the second and three times the third is -76. What is the number?
Let
x ----> the first consecutive integer
x+1 ---> the second consecutive integer
x+2 ---> the third consecutive integer
we have that

solve for x
apply distributive property

Combine like terms

subtract 8 both sides


Divide by 6 both sides

so


therefore
The numbers are -14,-13 and -12
