Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

If we try to solve this system for y at x = 1, we get an impossible situation:

$y=-7(1)+8=-7+8=1\\y=-7(1)-8=-7-8=-15\\1=-15$

Clearly, 1 ≠ -15, and we'll see that any value of x that we pick gives us two contradictory values for y, so this system has no solutions.

The sum of five consecutive multiples of 4 is 20.Find the smallest integer.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The smallest integer is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be x.

Since the integers are all multiples of 4, they are

=> x, x+4, x+8, x+12 and x+16

=> x + x+4 + x+8 + x+12 + x+16 = 20

=> 5x + 40 = 20

Subtract 40 from both sides of the equation

5x +40 - 40 = 20 - 40

5x = -20

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x(which is 5)

$\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{-20}{5}$

x = -4

∴ the smallest integer is -4.

Hope this helps!!!
