Question

What two integers lie between 5.1=2.5-0.4y

Answer 1

5.1=2.5-.4y

5.1-2.5=-.4y

2.6=-.4y

divided by 4 then

y= -6.5

it lies between -6 and -7 in number line

Answer 2

Integers are whole numbers, and consecutive integers are those that are next to each other. For example, the following are consecutive integers:

1 and 2

-3 and -2

0 and 1

And the following are not consecutive integers:

1 and 3 (because 2 comes between 1 and 3)

-3 and 0 (because -2 and -1 both come between -3 and 0)

1.1 and 2 (because 1.1 is not an integer)

So this question is asking you to solve the equation for y and find which two consecutive integers y falls between. I'll work the full answer out here, so you have a complete framework from which you can solve similar questions.

5.1 = 2.5 – 0.4y

5.1 – 2.5 = -0.4y

2.6 = -0.4y

2.6/-0.4 = y

-6.5 = y

Since y = -6.5, we just need to find the two consecutive integers that are closest to this number, which we now know are:

-7 and -6
