The sum of three consective even integers if the largest number is y

coldgirl [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

If y is largest number, you want y, and the two next smaller even integers smaller than y - i.e. y, y-2, and y-4

The sum of these is y + (y-2) + (y-4).

This simplifies to 3y - 6 or 3(y - 2)

Since we don’t know what y is, this is as far as we can solve the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shelter has 165 animals.

The shelter must keep its total occupancy below 300.

165+5x animals. This number must be less than 300, so

$165+5x< 300\\ \\5x< 300-165\\ \\5x< 135\\ \\x< 27$
