The product of two consecutive negative integers is 600. what is the value of the lesser integer?

Value of lesser integer is -25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive negative integers be .

Given: Product of two consecutive negative integers is 600

using property (multiplication is distributive over addition): , we get

As x is negative, is rejected

Therefore,

So,

We know that . On multiplying both sides by -1, we get

So, value of lesser integer is -25

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
