Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the largest and 5 times the smallest is -244. URGENT

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bad White [126]3 years ago
5 0

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

Rashid [163]

Answer:

John work as a security guard job <u>27 hours</u> and as a landscaper <u>33 hours</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

John works two jobs.

As a security guard he earns $8.50 per hour and as a landscaper he earns $14 per hour.

One week John worked a total of 60 hours and earned $691.50.

Now, to find hours he work at each job.

Let the job of security guard be x hours.

And the job of landscaper be y hours.

So, the total hours John worked in a week:

x+y=60.

⇒ y=60-x.............( 1 )

<em>Now, the money earned by John in a week:</em>

8.50x+14y=691.50

<em>Putting the equation ( 1 ) in the place of y:</em>

⇒ 8.50x+14(60-x)=691.50

⇒ 8.50x+840-14x=691.50

<em>Moving variables on one side and the other we get:</em>

⇒ 840-691.50=14 x-8.50x

⇒148.50=5.50x

<em>Dividing both sides by 5.50 we get:</em>

⇒ 27=x

<u>As a security guard job he worked 27 hours</u><u>.</u>

Putting the value of in x equation ( 1 ) we get:

y=60-27

⇒ y=33.

<u>As a landscaper he worked 33 hours</u>.

Therefore, John work as a security guard job 27 hours and as a landscaper 33 hours.
