X(x+2)=255
x²+2x-255=0
(x-15)(x+17)=0
x=15 or x=-17
take the positive number only, so the two consecutive positive odd integers are 15 and 17.

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 270. What is the biggest integer?
saveliy_v [14]
3 consecutive even integers.....x, x + 2, and x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 270
3x + 6 = 270
3x = 270 - 6

x = 264/3
x = 88

x + 2 = 88 + 2 = 90
x + 4 = 88 + 4 = 92 <=== the biggest integer

avanturin [10]

Answer:

3x+72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first simplify the equation 3(10x+9)−9(3x−5)

You want to distribute first

=(3)(10x)+(3)(9)+(−9)(3x)+(−9)(−5)

=30x+27+−27x+45

And then combine like terms:

=30x+27+−27x+45

=(30x+−27x)+(27+45)

=3x+72 (answer)
