Answer:

the two consecutive negative integers are -2 and -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent these negative integers by m and n.

Then (because the integers are consecutive) n = m + 1, and m^2 = n + 5.

Substituting m + 1 for n in the second equation, we get:

m^2 = m + 1 + 5, or

m^2 - m - 6 = 0

This factors into (m - 3)(m + 2) = 0.  The only negative root is -2.  

Thus, the two consecutive negative integers are -2 and -1.

Check:  Is the  square of the first five more than the second?

Is (-2)^2 = -1 + 5?  YES

The integers aer -2 and -1.

A. F(x)= 3x+6 =12
3x = 12-6
3x = 6
x=2

B. x=10, f(x)= 3*10+6 = 30+6 = 36

C. f(x) = 3x+6 = 6
3x = 6-6
3x=0
x=0

D. x=5, f(x) = 3x+6 = 3*5+6 = 15+6 = 21

What is the solution? 2/3(x-7)= -2
koban [17]

Answer:

x =4

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3(x-7)= -2

Multiply each side by 3/2 to clear the fractions

3/2 * 2/3(x-7)= -2 *3/2

x-7 = -3

Add 7 to each side

x-7+7 = -3+7

x =4
