Let us assume the first even number = n
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
The addition of the three consecutive even numbers is 42 and it is already given in the question. Based on the information's given in the question, the answer can be easily deduced.
Then, the equation can be written as
n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 42
3n + 6 = 42
3n = 42 - 6
3n = 36
n = 36/3
= 12
So
The first even number = 12
The second consecutive even number = n + 2
= 12 + 2
= 14
The third consecutive even number = n + 4
= 12 + 4
= 16
So the three consecutive even numbers are 12, 14, 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
first 5% =0.05
second 4.2 x 10 =42
then the correct answer is A
The GCF of 16,24, and 40 is gonna be 8
Add like terms just like you would anywhere else...
The expression <span>4(2x – 3) – 4x is equal to 4·2x-4·3-4x=8x-12-4x=(8x-4x)-12=4x-12.

1. 4x-12=4x-12, then 0=0. This equation has infinite amount of solutions;
2. 4x-12=3x-4,4x-3x=-4+12,x=8. This equation has one solution.
3. 4x-12=3(2x-6),4x-12=6x-18,4x-6x=-18+12,-2x=-6,x=3. This equation also has one solution.
4. 4x-12=4(x-5),4x-12=4x-20,4x-4x=-20+12,0=-8 is not right equality, then this equation hasn't solutions.
Answer: Correct choices are B and C.
