The product of two consecutive integers is 5 more than three time the larger. What are the integers?

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.

A fruit market equally divided 80 red apples into 8 containers, and equally divided 54 green apples into 6 containers. Natalie b
Goryan [66]

Answer:

10 + 9 = n

19 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

80 ÷ 8 = y and 56 ÷ 6 = a

n = y + a

80 ÷ 8 × 8 = y × 8

80 = 8y

80 ÷ 8 = 8y ÷ 8

y = 10

54 ÷ 6 = a

54 ÷ 6 × 6 = a × 6

6a = 54

6a ÷ 6 = 54 ÷ 6

a = 9

10 + 9 = n

19 = n

Select the correct answer.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

ln x + 5, similarily to ln x, has no right asymptote, because it goes to infinity (very slowly), but also any line y=ax+b raises faster than ln x for positive a.

It has a left asymptote though - ln x deacreases very fast as x approaches 0, so it has a vertical asymptote of x = 0.
