Find three consecutive even integers such that 3 times the first is 26 less than twice the sum of the last two

Let's say our first integer is "a".

how to get the next consecutive EVEN integer?  well, just add or subtract 2 from it, therefore, the second consecutive integer will be "a + 2".

and the next after that, will then be (a + 2) + 2, or "a + 4".

so those are are 3 integers, a           a + 2           a+4

notice that, from any even or odd integer, if you hop twice either forwards or backwards, you'll land on another even or odd integer respectively.

2 + 2 is 4, or 8 + 2 is 10  some even ones

3 + 2 is 5, or 13 + 2 is 15, some odd ones

\bf \stackrel{\textit{3 times the first}}{3a}~~=~~\stackrel{\textit{26 less than twice the sum of the others}}{2[~(a+2)+(a+4)~]~~~-26}
\\\\\\
3a=2[~2a+6~]-26\implies 3a=4a+12-26\implies 3a=4a-14
\\\\\\
0=a-14\implies 14=a

what are the other two consecutive integers?  well, a + 2 and a + 4.

Not sure what the length of the rectangle is but to find perimeter of a rectangle you can use the following formula

2w+2l= perimeter

The reason we multiply both the length and width by two is because there are two ends of the width and two ends of the length.

The other formula that would also work is as follows

w+w+l+l= perimeter


Hope it helps

Given h of x equals negative 2 times the square root of x minus 3 end root, which of the following statements describes h(x)?
Yuliya22 [10]

Using translation concepts, it is found that the correct option regarding the function is:

The function h(x) is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

The parent function is given by:

f(x) = \sqrt{x}

Which increases on (0, ∞).

The translated function is given by:

g(x) = -2\sqrt{x - 3}

With the translation, the domain is now (-3, ∞), and the function is decreasing, hence the correct option is given by:

The function h(x) is decreasing on the interval (3, ∞).
