I would try Khan Academy. He does very good explainations
-2 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 is the answer because any thing with | | around it means it's a positive number. but the negative sign makes it negative.
So the ration is 1 to 5 since it's one foot every 5 seconds. So for every 5 seconds, add 1 foot.
For example: in 45 seconds, it would travel 7 feet.
But in this Scenario, the timer starts after 5 feet so just add 5
Ex. in 45 seconds, it would have traveled 12 feet since we added the 5 feet that we started with to the 7 other feet it traveled.
Idk If this will help very much but I hope it does.
Answer:
wat
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
