Let's say the first number is -a, so "a" will be some positive value, and we multiply -1 to it, we get the -a
a consecutive number from it, is either, ahead or before it, so, -a + 1 or -a -1, is a consecutive integer, hmm let's use -a + 1 then
so, the two numbers are -a and -a + 1
we know their product is 600

we use the positive one, because we're using -1 in front of the "a"
what's the lesser integer? well, what's -a+1? which one is lesser?
Let the number of sports drinks April bought be represented by = s
Let the pizza slices April bought be represented by = p
As she spent a total of $21.25 so equation becomes:




As she bought 3 more sports drinks than pizza slices so, s = p+3

Answer with explanation:</h2>
Given : An urn contains 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles.
Total marbles = 2+3=5
a) The general ways in which the person could get a red marble and a blue marble are :
1) He draws red marble first and then second marble as blue.
2) He draws blue marble first marble and then second marble as red.
b) The number of ways to get one red and one blue marble is given by :-
(i)
c) Number of ways to get 2 marbles from 5 is given by :-
(ii)
Now, The probability the person gets a red and a blue marble will be :-
[Divide (i) by (ii)]
Hence, the probability the person gets a red and a blue marble= 0.6
