Let

x------>  the first even integer

x+2---->the second even integer

x+3---->the third even integer

we know that

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=36 -----> equation that represent the situation

solve for x

Combine like terms in the left side

(x+x+x)+(2+4)=36

3x+6=36

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

3x+6=36

The equation that can be used to find the first integer is B) 3x + 6 = 36

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Solving linear equation mean calculating the unknown variable from the equation.

Let the linear equation : y = mx + c

If we draw the above equation on Cartesian Coordinates , it will be a straight line with :

<em>m → gradient of the line</em>

<em>( 0 , c ) → y - intercept</em>

Gradient of the line could also be calculated from two arbitrary points on line ( x₁ , y₁ ) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) with the formula :

\large {m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}

If point ( x₁ , y₁ ) is on the line with gradient m , the equation of the line will be :

\boxed {y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1 )}

Let us tackle the problem.

<u>Given:</u>

The First Integer = x

The Second Integer = x + 2

The Third Integer = x + 4

<em>The sum of three consecutive even integers is 36.</em>

\texttt{The First Integer + The Second Integer + The Third Integer = 36}

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 36

x + x + x + 2 + 4 = 36

\large {\boxed {3x + 6 = 36} }

What is the answer to this problem above?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Value of f (Parapedicular) = 7√6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Given triangle is a right angle triangle

Value of base = 7√2

Angle made by base and hypotenuse = 60°

Find:

Value of f (Parapedicular)

Computation:

Using trigonometry application

Tanθ = Parapedicular / Base

Tan60 = Parapedicular / 7√2

√3 = Parapedicular / 7√2

Value of f (Parapedicular) = 7√2 x √3

Value of f (Parapedicular) = 7√6

Once again I’m co fused lol
Leno4ka [110]

A to the middle one

B to the top one

C to the bottom one  

The top one is all real numbers because any number in the "l l" absolute brackets will come out to be positive, example: l-3l=3 and l3l=3. Thats going to be equal to and since the sign says "less than or equal to" that will work.

The middle one is only positive solutions because for 7x to be more than lxl it would need to be positive since the sign is "greater than"

The bottom one is none because the absolute of anything will always be more than a negative since the absolute is always positive. Never less or equal to a negative, always more.

Delvig [45]
1/3 of 30 would be 10. So 10 students walk to school.
