Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger integer = 2x + 1

Let the second integer = 2x - 1

1/2 (2x + 1 + 2x - 1) = - 12               Combine the left

1/2(4x) = - 12                                  Combine 1/2 (4x)

2x = - 12                                         Divide by 2

2x/2 = - 12/2

x = - 6

2x + 1 = 2*-6 + 1 = -11

2x - 1 = 2*-6 - 1  = - 13

Check

-11 + - 13  = - 24

1/2(-24) = -12                               which checks.

4w+5/-3=2 what does w equal
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

w=-11/4 or -2  and 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we first have to cancel out the dividing by-3. We can use the inverse operation of division, which is multiplication. We have to multiply both sides by -3, and the equation becomes 4w+5= -6.  Then, we subtract 5 from both sides. We get 4w= -11. We finally divide 4 on both sides, getting w=-11/4. -11/4 is in improper fraction form and -2 and 3/4 is in mixed number form.
