The smallest of the three consecutive integers is 24.
<h3>How to solve algebraic word problems?</h3>
Let the 3 consecutive integers be;
x, y and z
Thus;
y = x + 1
z = x + 2
Now, we are told that their sum is equal to 4 times the largest number minus 29. Thus;
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4(x + 2) - 29
3x + 3 = 4x + 8 - 29
4x - 3x = 3 + 21
x = 24
Thus, we can conclude that the smallest of the three consecutive integers is 24.

<em>x = - 9</em>
- Step-by-step explanation:
<em>6x + 10 = 4x - 8</em>
<em>6x - 4x = - 10 - 8</em>
<em>2x = - 18</em>
<em>x = - 18 : 2</em>
<em>x = - 9</em>
Answer:
(x+1)(x-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+x-9x-9=0
x*(x+1)-9(x+1)=0
(x+1)(x-9)=0
x+1=0
x-9=0
x=-1 and x=9
