To answer the problem above, let x be the first integer and x + 1 be the next integer. Given that their product is 600, the equation that best models this situation is,
                             (x)(x + 1) = 600
Simplify,
                                x² + x - 600 = 0 
The roots of the equation above is 24 and -25. Since we are asked for the negative integers, we take x = -25. Thus, the first integer is -25 and the second integer is -24. The lesser integer is -25

Given the equation 5 + x - 12 = x- 7.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + x - 12 = x- 7 (Add the 5 and -12 to simplify)

x - 7 = x - 7        (notice its the same on both sides of equal sign. Add 7 to both                    sides)

x = x

solution is all real numbers

Part B

5 - 4 - 12 = -4 - 7

-11 = -11

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7

-7 = -7

5 + 5 - 12 = 5 - 7

-2 = -2

Equation of perpendicular line:<br><br> Equation of parallel line:
tamaranim1 [39]

1)Parallel means they have to have the same slope. Since our equation is y=2/3x+1, a line parallel to that would be(using out points) -5=2/3(-4)+b.

To find the y-intercept, solve for "b".

b=-7/3

Our equation would then be y=2/3x-7/3

2)Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes. our previous equation was y=2/3x+1, so our new equation would be -5=-3/2(-4)+b. Now lets solve for b.

b=-11

So our perpendicular equation would be y=-3/2x-11

Hope that was helpful. :)
