Answer:

-23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first negative integer = x

The second = x +5

Their product = 126, hence,

x * (x +5) = 126

x^2 + 5x = 126

x^2 + 5x - 126 = 0

Two numbers whose product gives - 126 and sun gives 5

x(x + 14) - 9(x+14) =0

(x - 9) = 0 or (x + 14) = 0

x = 9 or x = - 14

Since x is said to be a negative integer,, the our x = - 14

First integer = - 14

Second integer = (x + 5) = (-14 + 5) = - 9

Sum of both integers :

-14 + - 9 = - 23

A tornado traveled 260 miles in 4 hours. if the average rate at which the tornado is moving slows by 20%, how many miles will th
lianna [129]
Given that the tornado traveled 260 miles in 4 hours, its initial speed is 65 mi/h. Then, slowing by 20% every hour, the speed after 2 hours can be calculated through the equation,
                          speed = (65 mi/h) x (1-0.2)^2
                             speed = 41.6 mi/h
Thus, the speed of the tornado after 2 hours is approximately 41.6 mi/h.

The first leg of the graph represents Manuel riding his bike for 3 units of time going 5 units distance gradually increasing his speed.  The second line segment represents Manuel staying where he his for 4 1/2 units of time.  The third represents Manuel going a fast speed back to where he started.  I think.

Or the first is him going that distance picking up speed, the second him going a constant speed, and the third him slowing down/speeding up.

Use repeated subtraction to divide 3 divided by 1/5
yanalaym [24]

Keep subtracting 1/5 from 3

3 -(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5)-(1/5) = 0

3 / (1/5) = 15

We subtracted (1/5) 15 times till we got to 0.
