Define a variable, write equation, solve and answer the question. 17) The sum of three consecutive integers is -84. What is the smallest integer?

I don't know if you want the beginning to so-

Variable - A unknown value represented by a set letter.

4x+6 = 26

(Incase: Subtract 6 from 6, and 6 from 26. 6 cancels out, and 26-6 is 20. Divide both sides by 4. And x=5)

And the answer to the question is: -27 is the smallest, and then the 3 consecutive numbers are -27, -28, and -29.

about the problem:

srry i'm not done ! i'll

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
