X=8.

Following the similarity statement, we know that AC is to DF as BC is to EF.  The ratio would be:

24/(x-2) = 20/5

Cross multiply:
24*5 = 20(x-2)

Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40

Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40
160 = 20x

Divide both sides by 20:
160/20 = 20x/20
8 = x

REASONING An even integer can be represented by the expression $2n$ , where $n$ is any integer. Find three consecutive even inte
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

First Integer = 16

Second Integer = 18

Third integer = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

An even integer is represented by 2n

Where n is any integer

Let :

First Integer = 2n - 2

Second Integer = 2n

Third integer = 2n + 2

The sum of three even consecutive numbers = 2n - 2 + 2n + 2n + 2

= 2n + 2n + 2n - 2 + 2 = 54

= 6n = 54

n = 54/6

n = 9

First Integer = 2n - 2 = 2(9) - 2

= 16

Second Integer = 2n = 2(9)

= 18

Third integer = 2n + 2 = 2(9) + 2

= 20
