The number is -13.

In order to find this, we first need to make each part of the statement into a mathematical statement.

Twice the difference of a number and 2.

2(x - 2)

Three times the sum of the number and 3

3(x + 3)

Now we can set them equal to each other and solve.

2(x - 2) = 3(x + 3) ----> Distribute

2x - 4 = 3x + 9 ------> Subtract 2x from both sides

-4 = x + 9 -----> Subtract 9 from both sides

-13 = x

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

juliet collected 50 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be rosanas cans

10+x+2x = 130

simplify

10 + 3x = 130

3x = 130 - 10 = 120

x = 120/3 = 40

rosanas cans = 40

juliets cans = 40 +10 = 50

santiagos cans = 50 x 2 = 100

but i think the question is wrong!!

Three consecutive even numbers add up to 36. Select all of the following equations that will find the lowest number of the three
Misha Larkins [42]

Equation A find the lowest number of the three. Equation A satisfies the given conditions.

<h3>What is even number? </h3>

If the number is divisible by 2 then the number will be an even number. Similarly, the number is not divisible by 2 then the number will be an odd number.

Assume the three consecutive integers are 2x,2x+2,2x+4

The sum of the three consecutive even numbers are 36;

x+x+2+x+4 = 36

3x+6=36

3x=30

x=10

The three integers are found as;

x =10

x+2 = 10+2 = 12

2x+4 =10+4=14

Hence, equation A find the lowest number of the three. Equation A satisfies the given conditions.
