Let's say the smaller number is x. Then, we can represent the larger number as x + 1. The +1 means that it's both larger, because adding makes a number larger, and consecutive, because it's 1 greater or less.
Then, we can write an equation. The sum of the two numbers is x + (x + 1), and it's equal to -165.
x + (x + 1) = -165
2x + 1 = -165
2x = -166
x = -83
Since x = -83, the smaller number is -83.
Answer:
8(1/x) = 4(1/10)
Step-by-step explanation:
lets say the number is x
eight times the reciprocal of a number equals 4 times the reciprocal of 10
8 * 1//x = 4 * 1/10
8/x = 4/10 , cross multiply
4x =8*10, divide both sides by 4
x= 80/4
x= 20
504 because every 9 feet is 3 yards and you would multiply the three yards ( 9 feet) by your 56 balloons
