Answer:

-39+5(-41)=244

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider 3 consecutive integers: (smallest) x, x+1 and x+2 (largest)

Five times the smallest means 5x

Sum of the largest and five times the smallest means x+2+5x

This sum is -244 means x+2+5x=-244

Solve this equation

x+2+5x=-244

6x+2=-244

6x=-244-2

6x=-246

x=-41

So, smallest number is -41, second is -40 and largest is -39

= -39+5(-41)=244

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

The width of the rectangle is 50% of its length. What is the area of the rectangle?

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

area = length x half of length

Step-by-step explanation:

whatever the length of the rectangle is, replace it with 'length'

for example if the length was 6cm, it would be:

length x half of length = area

6cm x (6/2) = area

6cm x 3cm = area

18cm² = area

Elimination Method: 6x - 4y = -24 and 4x + 5y = -2

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

$(-2;-6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the first one after dividing both sides by 2.

$\left \{ {{3x-2y=-12\atop {4x+5y=-2}} \right.$

Now, let's pick one you want to eliminate.

Eliminating x: Let's multiply the first one by 4, the second by 3, and subtract one from the other. Rest is simply solving an equation in one variable

$4I-3II : 12x-8y-12x+15y = -48 - (-6)\\7y = -42 \rightarrow y= -6$

Eliminating y: Let's multiply the first by 5, the second by 2, and add them together. Rest is simply solving an equation in one variable

$5I+2II: 15x -10y +8x +10y = -60 +4\\23x = -56 \rightarrow x=-2$
