Question

Simplify 6(x+2)-(4x-14)
the sum of two conicuative integers is -67. find the integer​

Answer 1

#1

`\tt \: 6(x + 2) - (4x - 14)`

• Distribute 6 through the parentheses

`\tt6x + 12 - 4(4x - 14)`

• Distribute -4 through the parentheses

`\tt6x + 12 - 16x + 56`

• Collect like terms

`\tt - 10x + 68`

`\rule{300pt}{3pt}`

#2

Let the two integers be x and x+2

ATQ,

`\sf \: x + x + 2 = - 67`

Let's solve this !~

`\sf \: 2x + 2 = - 67`

`\sf \: 2x = - 67 - 2`

`\sf \: 2x = - 69`

`\sf \: x = - (69)/(2)`

`\sf \: x = - 34.5`

`\rule{300pt}{3pt}`

`\large{|\underline{\mathtt{\red{N}\blue{u}\orange{m}\pink{b}\blue{e}\purple{r}\green{\:}\red{1}\blue{:}\orange{-}}}}`

`\sf = \: x \\ \sf \: = - 34.5`

`\large{|\underline{\mathtt{\red{N}\blue{u}\orange{m}\pink{b}\blue{e}\purple{r}\green{\:}\red{2}\blue{:}\orange{-}}}}`

`\sf \: = x + 2 \\ \sf = - 34.5 + 2 \\ \sf \: = - 32.5`
