Three consecutive even integers can be represented by x, (x+2), and (x+4).
(x + (x + 2) + (x + 4)) - 10 = -22 Get rid of the parentheses
x + x + 2 + x + 4 - 10 = -22 Combine like terms (x + x + x) and (2 + 4 - 10)
3x - 4 = -22 Add 4 to both sides
3x = -18 Divide
x = -6
Check you work.
x = -6
x + 2 = -4
x + 4 = -2
(-6 - 4 - 2) - 10 = 22
-12 - 10 = -22
So, your three integers are -6, -4, and -2 .
You would multiply 4 on both sides
5x=2
then you would divide 5 on both sides
x=2/5
N + 1 = 4(n – 8)
Use distributive property for this part: 4(n – 8) ----> 4n - 32
n + 1 = 4n - 32
Get the variable on one side:
n + 1 = 4n - 32
-n -n
1= 3n - 32
Get the variable on its own:
1= 3n - 32
+32 +32
33 = 3n
Divide by 3 on both sides:
33/3 = 3n/3
n = 11
