Answer:- The smaller integer is -5.
Explanation:-
Let the first consecutive integer be x and the second consecutive integer be x+1.
According to the given question:-
x+6(x+1)= -29
⇒x+6x+6= -29 [distributive law]
⇒x+6x= -29-6 [subtract 6 on the both sides]
⇒7x= -35 [combining like terms ]
⇒x= -5 [dividing 7 on both sides]
Thus the smaller integer =x= -5
larger integer =x+1= -5+1= -4

The larger the sample size (number of people asked), the more accurate the results generally are, due to the law of large numbers.
Find ever origin and then multiplying by the <span>scale factor of 2 and i promise you will get your answer</span>
In 2 2/3 months you ran 76 miles.
To know how many miles you ran each month, you can simply use cross multiplication as follows:
number of miles per month= (76) / (2 2/3)
= 28.5 miles
Substitute the first equation into the second equation. You will get:
4x - (2x - 5) = 7
Distribute the negative sign into the parenthesis:
4x - 2x + 5 = 7
Simplify
2x + 5 = 7
Subtract 5 on both sides
2x = 2
x = 1
Now, substitute x = 1 into the first equation:
y = 2(1) - 5
y = 2 - 5
y = -3
The solution to the system of equations is (1, -3).
