To get from one even number to the next even number you have to add 2.
Ex. 4, 6, 8. If I start with 4, I have to add 2 to 4 to get to 6, and add 4 to 4 to get to 8. Since we don't know the starting point in this word problem we start with'x' and add 2 and add 4.

x = (x + 2) + (x + 4)
x = 2x + 6
The first equation

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the smallest number of three consecutive even integers is equal to x.

The next two even integers would be x+2 and x+4

Sum = x+2+x+4 =2x+6

This equals first number x

Since these two are equa,

x=2x+6

Hence I option is right.

How old am i if 500 reduced by 3 times my age is 266
JulsSmile [24]

Hey there!

Let's start by making an equation to represent this.

500 - 3a = 266

Reduced by is the same as subtracting, and a represents age.

Subtract 500 from both sides.

-3a = -234

Divide each side by -3.

a = 78

Check.

500 - 3(78) = 266

500 - 234 = 266

266 = 266

You are 78 years old.

Hope this helps!

The correct answer is 700 months .

<h3>What is simple interest?</h3>
  • Simple interest is based on the principal amount of a loan or the first deposit in a savings account.
  • Simple interest doesn't compound, which means a creditor will only pay interest on the principal amount and a borrower would never have to pay more interest on the previously accumulated interest.

Given,

         I = 105

         P = 100

            r = 0.15

Now use simple interest formula,

      S.I. = \frac{p * r* t}{100}

105=100×(0.15)×(t)

Swap sides so t is on the left.

100 ×(0.15)×(t)=105

Divide both sides by 100.

0.15t=1.05

Divide both sides by 0.15

t=700

So, we see that it takes 700 months to earn this amount.
