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

What is the solution to the quadratic equation 8m^2+7m-15=-7 ?

Aleks04 [339]

Make equal to zero
add7 both sides
8m^2+7m-8=0
quadratic fomrula

if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$

8m^2+7m-8=0
a=8
b=7
c=-8

x= $\frac{-7+/- \sqrt{7^{2}-4(8)(-8)} }{2(8)}$
x= $\frac{-7+/- \sqrt{49+256} }{16}$
x= $\frac{-7+/- \sqrt{305} }{16}$

x= $\frac{-7+ \sqrt{305} }{16}$ or x= $\frac{-7- \sqrt{305} }{16}$

aprox
x=-1.52902 or 0.654016

2+4z-18 slove step by step

Marianna [84]

2+4z-18
change it so it's an equation
2+4z-18=0
then get 4z alone on one side by subtracting 4z from both sides
2-18=-4z
-16= -4z
divide both sides by -4

a negative divided by a negative becomes positive
4 =z
plug it in
2+4(4)-18
4x4 is 16
2+16-18=0
0=0

the same can be done for the second one 2+k-8

make it 2+k-8=0

move the k to get it alone so subtract k from both sides

2-8=-1k

-6 = -1K

you can divide by K to make K=6

plug in 2+6-8=0

0=0

Can anyone help I’ll give you brainliest

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Interest for 1 year is $80.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest is given by the formula

I =PRT

where I is the interest, P is the principal, R is the rate in decimal form, and T is the time.

P =3500

R=.023

T = 1 (1 year)

I = (3500) * (.023) (1)

I = 80.50

HELP!!!

You can compose, or create, a parallelogram (a four-sided shape with two sets of opposite, parallel sides) using two shapes, such as triangles or squares. You can decompose, or take apart, a parallelogram by dividing it from opposite corners, either vertically or horizontally.
