Find three consecutive even integers if the third is 8 less than twice the second

Mathematics

Answer:

8, 10, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Because they are even there is a whole number x so that (1st)2x, (2nd) 2x+2, and (3rd)2x+4 are the 3 consecutive integers.

so

If the third is 8 less than twice the 2nd then:

 3rd   = 2 (2nd) - 8

2x + 4 = 2 (2x+2) - 8

2x + 4 = 4x + 4 - 8

2x + 4 = 4x - 4         Add 4 to each side

2x + 4 + 4 = 4x - 4 + 4

2x + 8 = 4x    Subtract 2x from each side

2x - 2x + 8 = 4x - 2x

8 = 2x         Divide each side by 2

8/2 = 2x/2

8/2 = x

4 = x

No we plug into our equations to find the integers.

2x = 2(4) = 8    

2x + 2 = 2(4) + 2 =  8 + 2 = 10              

2x + 4 =  2(4) + 4 =  8 + 4 = 12

So our integers are 8, 10, 12

Answer:

Quadrant 2, x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

Point C is on top left side of the x-y graph, which is quadrant 2.

An axis refers to line, so the x axis the is horizonal line, as it says on the right end of it.  The y axis is the vertical line, noted at the top of the line.

The only line that's on a line is point D and it's on the x-axis.

Fergus has 3 1/4 cups of oats

= 13/4 cups of oats

Oatmeal bars = 2 2/3

= 8/3 cups of oatmeal used

Therefore cups of oats left = 13/4 - 8/3

= 39/12 - 32/12

= 7/12 cups of oats left

She borrowed 1 cup of oats from neighbour

7/12 + 1/1

= 7/12 + 12/12

= 19/12 cups of oats

Blueberry oats muffin = 1 3/4 cups of oats

= 7/4 cups of oats

Total she will have now = 19/12-7/4

= 19/12 - 21/12

= - 2/12

= -1/6

Which means she needs 1/6 cup of oats more

Therefore its option 4
