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.

Describe a real-world situation that can be modeled by the function y=2x-3.
lara [203]

Yes you have a good example.

x = number of cookies

2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each

2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order

-------------

a more numeric example may be this

Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12

This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply

However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.

TEA [102]

Answer: 43/14

Step-by-step explanation: You take you 3 and times it by 14 and + 1 because the equation is saying 14/14 3 times plus the 1/14,

So 3 times 14=42

42+1=43 and then you take the 43 and put it over the 14 so now you have your answer: 43/14
