Five consecutive multiples of 11 have a sum of 220. what is the greatest of these numbers
a. 33
b. 44
c. 55
d. 66

D. 66.

Step-by-step explanation:

There has to be 3 even multiples in the 5 numbers so we try:

22+33+44+55+66

= 220.

Option D. 66

Step-by-step explanation:

A multiple is an exact number of times to another number.

The five consecutive multiples of 11 are:

22 -> 11/22 = 2 times, no remainder

33 -> 33/11 = 3 times, without remainder

44 -> 44/11 = 4 times, without remainder

55 -> 55/11 = 5 times, without remainder

66 -> 66/11 = 6 times, without remainder

Of those five multiples of 11 (22, 33, 44, 55, 66), the greatest is 66.

step-by-step explanation:

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
