Given:
Seven times the smaller of two consecutive even integers is the same as -300 minus 4 times the larger integer.
To find:
The integers .
Solution:
Let the smaller even integer be x.
So, larger even integer is x+2 because they are consecutive even integers.
Seven times the smaller integer = 7x
-300 minus 4 times the larger integer = -300-4(x+2)
Now,
Divide both sides by 11.
So, the smaller even integer is -28.
So, the larger even integer is -26.
First, let's turn all the numbers into improper fractions so that we can find the answer easier.
-2 = r -
- = r -
Now we have to isolate 'r'.
First, we have to make sure that the variable is on one side and all the numbers are on the other side.
To do this, we have to add to both sides.
In order to do this, we need to ensure that both fractions have a common denominator.
- = r -
Ensure that the denominators are the same:
= r -
+
= r
= r
Good luck!
