Hello :

n , n+1 , n+2 three conservative integers

the sum is : n + n+1 + n +2 = -204

3n = -201

n = -201 / 3 = - 67

the largest integer is : - 67+2 = - 65

answer (in words)

FALSE. the coordinate pair (5, 2) is not a solution to the equation $2x+3y=10$ . in order to figure out whether or not the statement is true or false, plug the $x$ and $y$ values from the coordinate pair (5, 2) into the given equation, $2x+3y=10$ . if both sides of the equation end up equal, the coordinate pair is a solution to the equation. if not, the coordinate pair is not a solution to that equation.

(i hope i explained that well enough, i'm better at explaining it algebraically as opposed to putting it into words lol)

answer (algebraic/steps for solving)

first, plug in 5 for $x$ in the equation $2x+3y=10$ .

$2x+3y=10$ ⇒ $2(5)+3y=10$

then plug in 2 for $y$ .

$2(5)+3y=10$ ⇒ $2(5)+3(2)=10$

now your equation is $2(5)+3(2)=10$ . all that's left to do is to simplify. you can do this in whatever order you'd like, but i'll start with multiplying 2 · 5.

$2(5)+3(2)=10$ ⇒ $10 + 3(2) = 10$

multiply 3 · 2.

$10 + 3(2) = 10$ ⇒ $10 + 6 = 10$

add 10 + 6.

$10 + 6 = 10$ ⇒ $16=10$

16 and 10 are not equal, therefore (5, 2) is not a solution to the equation $2x+3y=10$ . in order for a coordinate pair to be the solution to an equation, both sides of the equation need to end up equal after solving and simplifying.

i hope this helps! have a great rest of your day <3

Express the following repeating decimal as a fraction in simplest form.

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

$0.\overline{369} = \frac{41}{111}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 0.369369369...

10x = 3.69369369...

100x = 36.9369369...

1000x = 369.369369...

1000x - x = 369

999x = 369

$x = \frac{369}{999} \\\\x = \frac{123}{333}\\\\x = \frac{41}{111}$

notka56 [123]

Answer:

21 drawings

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets figure out how many drawings she can make per page. If she make a drawing using 1/3 of the page she can make 3 drawings per page. Now that we know she can make 3 drawings per padge, we can figure out how manyt drawings she can make by multiply the pages by drawings per padge. Let x be the drawings she can make.

7*3=x

Multiple 7*3

21=x

She can make 21 drawings
