A ) 15 I think because it the lowest number!
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. By definition, an even number is that number that can be divided by two.
2. Therefore, keeping this definition on mind, if you have an even number 
, the next consecutive even integer after it can be obtained by adding 2.
3. Then, you can conclude the expression that represents the first consecutive even integer after is:
Multiply in Uu will get your answer good luck wish Uu the best
Multiply 5/2 on both sides to clear the fraction.
-8(5/2)=(5/2)(2/5)(k-2)
-20 = k -2
Add 2 to both sides
-18 = k
Answer:
6 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The shorter tree is 4 ft shorter, but is growing faster. It is making up that difference at the rate of 24-16 = 8 inches = 2/3 ft per year. It will take ...
(4 ft)/(2/3 ft/year) = 4·(3/2) years = 6 years
for the two trees to become the same height.
_____
If you like, you can write an equation for the height of each tree (in feet or inches) and then solve for the time (t, in years) when the two equations give equal values.
In feet, we have
A height = 8 + (16/12)t
B height = 4 + (24/12)t
These will be equal when ...
8 + (16/12)t = 4 + (24/12)t
4 + (16/12)t = (24/12)t . . . . . . . subtract 4
4 = (8/12)t . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 16/12·t
4·(12/8) = t . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of t*
6 = t . . . . . . . . . the trees will be the same height in 6 years
_____
* This is 4·(3/2), which should look very much like the answer we got at the beginning. Note that this is the initial difference in height divided by the difference in growth rates. Multiplying by the inverse of a number is the same as dividing by the number.
