Answer:

In assumption, x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.

The integers are 4 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive even integers be x and x+2

Here x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.

Now according to the given statement

Sum of both: x+x+2

difference of 3 times the larger & 2 times the smaller:3(x+2)-2x

Putting the sum and difference equal:

x+x+2 = 3(x+2)-2x

Solving the equation

2x+2 = 3x+6-2x\\2x+2 = x+6\\2x+2-x = x+6-x\\x+2 = 6\\x+2-2 = 6-2\\x = 4

The next integer will be:

x+2 = 4+2 = 6

Hence,

In assumption, x is the smaller even integer and x+2 is the next so it will be larger.

The integers are 4 and 6.

What is 2 1/8 take away 1/2​
goblinko [34]

The equation is 2\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{2} .

1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)

The new equation is \frac{17}{8} -\frac{4}{8} . Subtract the numerators.

17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8

The improper fraction \frac{13}{8} simplifies to 1\frac{5}{8} .

<h2>Answer:</h2>

1\frac{5}{8}

Hope this helps :)

If 2a+b=6 and a−6=b, what is the value of a?
earnstyle [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2a + b = 6......equation 1

a - 6 = b

a = b + 6........equation 2

Putting equation 2 in equation 1

2 ( b + 6 ) + b = 6

2b + 12 + b = 6

3b = 6 - 12

3b = - 6

b = - 6 / 3

Therefore b = - 2

Now

a = - 2 + 6 = 4

hope it will help :)
