Answer from: nina288

Well, when i get a question like this I use trial and error.
for example lets start with -5, -6, -7, and -8= -26

which in this case does equal the target number but lets say it didn't. If you got a number that was to high you start with a lower number and if you got a number that was to low you start with a higher number.

hope this helps!

You can do it without trial and error by setting the first integer to x. Since the other integers are consecutive, the next number would be x +1, next would be x + 2, and then finally x +3

Add them together and set them to equal to -26, then solve for x.

x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3)= -26
4x + 6 = -26
4x = -32
x = -8

the first number is -8, so x+1 is -7, x+2 is -6 and x + 3 is -5.

So your consecutive integers are -8,-7,-6, and -5, which when added together gives you -26.

Answer from: Quest

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

0.2 0.8

288.75 x

231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal $3

* = $3465 (answer)

1 1 gal

hope this you

false

step-by-step explanation:

false. two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not. were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
