The answers be because it says DECREASED by 5 so it would be -5
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
They are exact and you can't mess up or accidentally slide the compass or straightedge around. This is just my opinion though.
First thing you have to do is take the 5 + -8 which equals -3 then you have to 33-18 which equals 15 then u have to divide by the -3 which gives you equal your answer of -5
The desired answer is probably that
2x + 1 = 67
is the equation that can be used to solve the problem. In this case, x represents the smallest integer.
_____
I like to work problems in consecutive integers by considering their average. Here, it is 67/2 = 33.5. The two consecutive integers whose average is 33.5 are 33 and 34, the solution to the problem. For this, the first equation applies, where x is the value halfway between the two integers. (This answer (2x=67) would likely get marked wrong by your computer grading system.)
B.) would be correct
(x,y)
x=-5
y=x+4
y=(-5)+4
y=-1
(-5,-1)
