Answer:
Mean would probably be the best answer
You have defined x to be the smaller of two consecutive integers. Then the larger will be (x+1). The given relation is
... (x) + 3(x+1) = -5 . . . . the smaller plus 3 times the larger is -5
... 4x + 3 = -5 . . . . . . . .simplify
... 4x = -8 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3
... x = -2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
The smaller of the two integers is -2.
Answer:
-51
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Solve inside the parenthesis</u>
12 + 3(18 - 42) + 9
<em>12 + 3(-24) + 9</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Multiply</u>
12 + 3(-24) + 9
<em>12 - 72 + 9</em>
<em />
<u>Step 3: Combine the first two numbers</u>
(12 - 72) + 9
<em>-60 + 9</em>
<em />
<u>Step 4: Combine the last two numbers</u>
-60 + 9
<em>-51</em>
<em />
