1 whole thing = 6 sixths
3 whole things = 18 sixths
1 third of a whole thing = 2 sixths of it
3 wholes plus 1 third = 18 sixths plus 2 sixths = 20 sixths
If you subtract 6 from 33 youll end up with 27 and therefore 27 plus 6 equals 33
The answer is 60 but im going to explain it down below if you want to know how to do it :)
first because we dont know the values of the 6 numbers we have to lay it out like this.
x
x+2
x+4
x+6
x+8
x+10
-------- (then we add it together)
6x+30 = 390 (the sum of the 6 numbers)
using this equation we find out what x is
so we do 390-30 to find what 6x is, which is 360
because now we know that 6x=360, we divide 360 by 6 to find out what x is
360 divided by 6 =60..... x = 60
so now we know that the smallest integer is 60
to check the answer we could add the 6 numbers which are:
60+62+64+66+68+70=390 :)
so the smallest integer is 60

Explanation:
In the second step, I multiplied top and bottom by 1/x. This divides every term by x. Doing this leaves us with various inner fractions that have the variable in the denominator. Those inner fractions approach 0 as x approaches infinity.
I'm using the rule that

where k is some positive real number constant.
Using that rule will simplify the expression greatly to leave us with -2/1 or simply -2 as the answer.
In a sense, the leading terms of the numerator and denominator are -2x and x respectively. They are the largest terms for each, so to speak. As x gets larger, the influence that -2x and x have will greatly diminish the influence of the other terms.
This effectively means,

I recommend making a table of values to see what's going on. Or you can graph the given function to see that it slowly approaches y = -2. Keep in mind that it won't actually reach y = -2 itself.
