Answer:
2nd option
Step-by-step explanation:
r + 1 = 23 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
r = 22 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )
r = 66 ( divide both sides by )
r = 
× 
( rationalising the denominator )
r = 
= 33
Answer:
The smallest integer is -27 and the integers are -27, -26, and -25
Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent this with:
x + x - 1 + x - 2 = -78
Simplify.
3x - 3 = -78
Add 3 to both sides.
3x = -75
Divide both sides by 3.
x = -25
So, the first integer is -25.
Subtract two to get the smallest integer.
-25 - 2 = - 27
With some simple rearrangement, we can rewrite the numerator as
Then factorizing the difference of squares, 
, we end up with
I believe it’s that they made it a democracy :) hope this helps !
