Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the smaller even number,
⇒ The larger even number which is consecutive to x = x - 2,
Since, the difference of one half the larger and two fifths the smaller is equal to five.
Which is the required equation that could be used to determine the number.
3x + 2(x − 1) − 4?
3x + 2x - 2 - 4
5x - 6
