Answer:

The consecutive negative integers are -3, -4 and -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive negative integers be k, (k-1) and (k -2)

Now, according to the question:

6(Largest Integer)  = 2( Sum of smaller two Integers)

or, 6 (k)  = 2( (k-1) + (k-2))

⇒ 6k = 2(2k -3)

or, 6k = 4k - 6

or, 6k - 4k = -6

or, 2k = -6 ⇒  k =  -3

Hence, the largest negative integer = -3

The next two consecutive negative  integer are (k-1) and (k-2)  = (-3-1) and (-3-2)

 = -4 and -5

Hence, the consecutive negative integers are -3, -4 and -5.

Solve the compound inequality 6b < 36 or 2b + 12 > 6.
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

all values of b

Step-by-step explanation:

6b < 36 or 2b + 12 > 6.

First solve the one on the left

6b < 36

Divide by 6

6b/6 < 36/6

b  <6

Then solve the one on the right

2b + 12 > 6

Subtract 12 from each side

2b+12-12 >6-12

2b >-6

Divide by 2

2b/2 >-6/2

b >-3

b<6 or b >-3

Rewriting

b>-3  or b<6

b > -3 is an open circle at -3 with a line going to the right

b < 6 is an open circle at 6 with a line going to the left

The or means we add the lines together

We have a line going from negative infinity to infinity

all values of b
