When calculating consecutive integers, the smaller number is x and the larger number is (x + 1).
So the equation you can use is x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
This is because the sum of the consecutive integers are equal to 5 more than 3 times the larger integer.
Now simplify:
x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3x + 3
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Now isolate the variable:
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Subtract 2x from both sides:
1 = x + 8
Subtract 8 from both side:
-7 = x
x = -7
So the smaller number is -7 and the larger number is -6.

Now check your answer:
-7 + (-7 + 1) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 - 6 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-6)
-13 = 5 + (-18)
-13 = 5 - 18
-13 = -13
This works!

So the integers are -7 and -6.

Two decimals that are equivalent to 3.200
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Two or more decimal numbers are said to be equivalent decimals, when they name the same value (or same amount). For example, the decimals: 0.2 = 0.20 = 0.200 = 0.2000 etc. Thus by successive addition of zeros after the decimal part of the number after the decimal point means the same number and hence are equivalent. Therefore, the decimals: 5.3, 5.30, 5.300, 5.3000 etc are all equivalent.
