Consecutive integers are like 1, 2, and 3. They are in a row. Think about plugging numbers in for x. 1 and 1+2 are not consecutive, so A is not the answer. B and C don't start with x, so they aren't the answer. That leaves D, because it starts with x, then goes to x+1, and then to x+2. These are consecutive, because if x was 1, it would be 1, 2, 3.
The answer is D.
I hope this helps :)
There will be one solution. To solve that:
1. Get the y alone by switching the places.
6x+y=2 > y=2-6x
-18x+3y=12 > 3y=12-18x > Then divide 3 on each number > y=4-6x
After doing that, you can solve this in graphing or algebra way.
Ima do the algebra way:
SO we have 2 system of equations. Now pick one equestion.
I will pick, y=2-6x. Now Ima replace the Y with the other equation y=4-6x >
4-6x=2-6x.
Now solve. And get > 0 aka Infinite Solution.
You are told to ignore the amount of principal paid, so you are apparently to assume the loan amount was for $50 thousand.
a) The old monthly payment was $10.67×50 = $533.50
b) The new monthly payment is $11.72×50 = $586.00
c) The increase in monthly payment is figured in the usual way:
... (new/old -1)×100% = (1.0984-1)×100% = 9.84%

In reality, about 3% of the loan will have been paid at the end of 2 years. Thus, the original loan amount may have been near $51,500. This problem is telling you to ignore the difference.
It's already in the simplest form.
1 mg = 0.001 grams. therefore 2000 mg = 2 grams
