Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, (x+2), and (x+4).
(x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)) - 10 = -22 Get rid of the parentheses
x + x + 2 + x + 4 - 10 = -22 Combine like terms (x + x + x) and (2 + 4 - 10)
3x - 4 = -22 Add 4 to both sides
3x = -18 Divide
x = -6
Check you work.
x = -6
x + 2 = -4
x + 4 = -2
(-6 - 4 - 2) - 10 = 22
-12 - 10 = -22
So, your three integers are -6, -4, and -2 .
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given number = -48
Listing out the possible factors of -48 in pairs along with their difference:
Factors (
) Difference (
) Difference (
)
-26 26
26 -26
-19 19
19 -19
-16 16
16 -16
-14 14
14 -14
On listing out the factors we find out that two of the pairs have difference = 19
The pairs are
and 
It is given that the factor with greater absolute value is positive. This means 16 would be positive while 3 would be negative.
So, our factors are 
The sum of the factors is =

A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.
B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20
Add equations
x=5
Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15
Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers
