n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers
the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]
twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12
The equation:
2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12
2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12
2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12 <em>use distributive property</em>
(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12
4n + 12 = 6n - 12 <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>
4n = 6n - 24 <em>subtract 6n from both sides</em>
-2n = -24 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>
n = 12
n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

So fist we add 40% and $40%. That's 80 percent of the tank which is 12 + 12 = 24. </em></u></h3><h3><u><em>
Then we figure out half of 40 percent which is 20 which means its 6 gallons. </em></u></h3><h3><u><em>
Now we add. 12+12+6 which equals our answer 30 gallons</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>

Answer:
Factored form: -2(x + 7) = 8, x = -11 (brainliest)?
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x + 7) = 8
x + 7 = 8 / -2
x + 7 = -4
x = -4 - 7
= -11
