The larger of two negative consecutive odd integers 5t and 5(t-1) is multiplied by 3 and then added to the smaller of the two original integers. Which of the following represents this operation?
Choose one:
A) 6t-2 B) 8t-2 C) -2 D) 20t-5 E) -2-4t^2
larger of 5t-5, 5t (when they are negative) is 5t. the smallest of 5t and 5t-5 when they are positive is 5t-5.   therefore 3* 5t + 5t-5 = 20t-5.   option 20t-5.
