Answer:

-4 is the larger integer

Step-by-step explanation:

n = smaller integer

n + 2 = larger integer

4(n+2) = n-10

4n + 8 = n - 10

3n + 8 = -10

3n = -18

n = -6

n+2 = -4

Answer: r = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 12 from both sides to isolate the r variable. You have -42 = -6r. Divide both sides by -6 to get r by itself and you get r = 7. Verify by substituting 7 as the r value and solving the equation.

Half a number increased by 15 is equal to the sum of 5 and the product of 3 and the number.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

(x/2) + 15 = 5 + 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the steps in the equation. X is your number. First you halve it, then you add 15. Next, set it equal to the other side. The second side is 5 + (because it is the sum) and 3x (the product of 3 and x means multiply them)
