Answer:
its A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
262 and 263 are consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 525.
Step-by-step explanation:
Natural number are a subset of real numbers consisting in positive integers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 525) and two natural numbers are consecutive when distance between each other is equal to 1. (
, 
) We can interpret the statement mathematically by means of the following expression:
Where 
, 
, 
.
This system is reduced to a single equation and solved afterwards:
Now we evaluate and to obtain the natural numbers:
262 and 263 are consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 525.
Start off by distributing the numbers into the parentheses:
5(-3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - (x - 3) = -16x - 20 + 13
(Note: It's super important to be careful when opening up negative parentheses! -(x-3) is not just - x - 3, it is actually -x + 3 since the negative is distributed in every number!)
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
-16x = -16x
0 = 0
There is an infinite number of solutions in this equation.
(When you get 0=0 when solving for a variable, that means that said variable will have infinite solutions, that is, any number plugged into the equation will work)
Answer: 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. split each candy bar into fifths
2. 20 pieces total
3. 20 ÷ 5 = 4
4. So each person gets 4 pieces (4/5)
It would be -5 because 4- 3*12/4 = -5
Hope this helps
Have a great day/night
