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

Mathematics

lianna [129]3 years ago

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

Help me with these questions circled
Vaselesa [24]
61.

40 ==> 100 %
x   ==> 15 %

15*40/100 = 6.

Therefore, merely 6 students received C grades.

62.

23 500 ==> 100%
x          ==> 42 %

42*23500/100 = 9870

Therefore 9870 people in the town are over 45 years of age.

You continue wth this method and you'll find for the 63, 64, 65.

In maths, you have to understand what you're doing dude ^^.

Whatever the answer for 64 and 65 are 

64.

21.50*20/100 = 4.3

65. 

250 ==> 100 %
45 ==> x %

x = 45*100/250 = 18 %

i will let you do the 63 alone, give me what you have found in the comments, i'll verify your answer.

Hope this helps !
