Answer:

Consider 3 consecutive integers: (smallest) x, x+1 and x+2 (largest)

Step-by-step explanation:

Five times the smallest means 5x

Sum of the largest and five times the smallest means x+2+5x

This sum is -244 means x+2+5x=-244

Solve this equation

x+2+5x=-244

6x+2=-244

6x=-244-2

6x=-246

x=-41

So, smallest number is -41, second is -40 and largest is -39

You're answer is -39+5(-41)=244

6. = 7d - 8d

6. = -d

d. = -6

<h3>Verification </h3>

6 + 8(-6) = 7(-6)

6 - 48. = -42

Find three consecutive integers such that that product of the first and third is one

Tema [17]

Answer:

n = the first

n + 1 = the 2nd

n + 2 = the 3rd

n(n + 2) - (n + 1) = 10(n + 2) + 1

n2 + 2n - n - 1 = 10n + 20 + 1

n2 - 9n - 22 = 0

(n - 11)(n + 2) = 0

If two factors = 0, at least one must = 0.

n - 11 = 0

n = 11

11,12,13

n + 2 = 0

n = -2
