Answer:

-37, -36

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum is -73

the numbers are consecutive so they must both be negative

73 /2 = 36.5 so the numbers are

-36 + -37 = -73

Answer:

-36

Step-by-step explanation:

All we need to do is this equation:

x+(x+1)=number

So, x+x+1=-73

2x+1=-73

-1 -1

2x=-74

/2 /2

x=-37

we can check this by adding -37+-36=-73 because -37 would be the lesser number.

Watch out, because that is the lesser number. -36 would be greater.

So -36.

What is the point slope form of a line with slope 2 that contains the point (1, -1)

mezya [45]

Point slope form is y - y1 = m(x-x1)

So,

y - (-1) = 2(x - 1)
y + 1 = 2x -2 or y + 1 = 2(x -1)

Hope this helps :)

URGENT! 40 POINTS! PLEASE HELP!

Answer:

(a) $8 x(5 x-6)=40 x^{2}-48 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find verify the answer we need to multiplying the equation $8 x(5 x-6)$

$8 x(5 x-6)=40 x^{2}-48 x$

Thus, this statement is true.

(b) To find verify the answer we need to multiplying the equation $-4 x\left(2 x^{2}+1\right)$

$-4 x\left(2 x^{2}+1\right)=-8 x^{3}-4 x$

Hence, the given statement is false.

$\begin{aligned}(x-3)(5 x-6) &=5 x^{2}-6 x-15 x+18 \\&=5 x^{2}-21 x+18\end{aligned}$

Hence, the given statement is true.

(d) To find verify the answer we need to multiplying the equation $(2 x+3)\left(x^{2}+3 x-5\right)$

$\begin{aligned}=(2 x+3)\left(x^{2}+3 x-5\right) &=2 x^{3}+6 x^{2}-10 x+3 x^{2}+9 x-15 \\&=2 x^{3}+9 x^{2}-x-15\end{aligned}$

Hence, the given statement is false.
