Answer:
144
Step-by-step explanation:
4 packages of hotdogs and 5 packages of rolls
If we firstly consider only the terms in x.
subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
⇒5+2x
−2x=2x−2x
+6
Observe that the x terms are eliminated and we are left with
5+0=0+6 that is 5=6 which is invalid
There is no solution to this equation.
Answer:
-82, -83, -84
Step-by-step explanation:
Using a variable and corresponding expressions, we can set the sum of the consecutive integers equal to -249 and solve:
first integer: x
second integer: x + 1
third integer: x + 2
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -249
Combine like terms: 3x + 3 = -249
Subtract 3 from both sides: 3x + 3 - 3 = -249 - 3 or 3x = -252
Divide both sides by 3: 3x/3 = -252/3
Solve for x: x = -84
first integer: -84
second integer: -84 + 1 = -83
third integer: -84 + 2 = -82
