Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

<span>Instead of k, k+1, k+2, you should use k, k+2, k+4 with the constraint that k is even (i.e. if you return an odd integer for k, or a non-integer, then return no solution). 

</span><span>k + (k+2) + (k+4) = 4k

</span><span>3k + 6 = 4k
k = 6 

</span><span>Indeed, 6+8+10 = 4*6.</span>

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be the first even integer

then, next even integer will be k+2

and the next consecutive even integer will be k+4

Sum of three consecutive even integers was 4 times the first of those integers.

i.e. k+(k+2)+(k+4)=4k

3k+6=4k

6=4k-3k

i.e. k=6

Jared wrote and solved the equation:

k+ (k+1) + (k+2) = 4k

i.e. 3k+3=4k

i.e. 4k-3k=3

i.e. k=3

No, he didn't get the correct answer

(since, he wrote 3 consecutive integers as k,k+1 and k+2 instead of k,k+2 and k+4)

Candace has $15 more than Amar. Their combined my money totals $85. Which system of equations represents this equation?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Amara money be represented by a

Since Candace has $15 more than Amar. Therefore, Candace money will be = a + 15

Their total money will be 85 and this can be represented in an equation as:

a + (a + 15) = 85.

a + a + 15 = 85

2a + 15 = 85

2a = 85 - 15

2a = 70

a = 35

Amar money = $35

Candace money = $35 + $15 = $50
