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 .
Your inequality is (x being number of people):
175≥35+10x+3x
First, combine like terms so your new inequality is:
175≥35+13x
Then subtract 35 from both sides which makes it:
140≥13x
then divide 140 by 13 making it:
<span>10.769≥x
</span>But because you can't have .769 of a person the actual answer is 10
then you have to subtract 1 because he isn't including himself and there is the answer!:
9≥x
