Now that we’ve learned how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive integers, let’s narrow it down and this time, focus on word problems that only involve finding the sum of consecutive even integers.
But before we start delving into word problems, it’s important that we have a good understanding of what even integers, as well as consecutive even integers, are.
Even Integers
We know that even numbers are integers that can be divided exactly or evenly by 22. Thus, the general form of the even integer nn, is n = 2kn=2k, where kk is also an integer.
In other words, since even numbers are the multiples of 22, we can represent an even integer nn by 2k2k, where kk is also an integer. So if we have the even integers 1010 and 1616,
Answer:
1.5 inches/ week
Step-by-step explanation
Given
Height of he plant = 3in
If the plant grows by 2in every week
The rate of change = Height of plant/weekly increase
The rate of change = 3/2 = 1.5 inches/ week

Answer: Hong drove the truck for 294 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent the number of miles for which he drove the truck.
There was a base fee of $20.95, and there was an additional charge of 90 cents for each mile driven. It means that the expression for the cost of driving the truck for m miles in a day is
20.95 + 0.9m
Hong had to pay $285.55 when he returned the truck. It means that
20.95 + 0.9m = 285.55
0.9m = 285.55 - 20.95
0.9m = 264.6
m = 264.6/0.9
m = 294 miles
Answer: It would of been $339.25
Step-by-step explanation: If you do the math 299 divided by 45 you will get 40 so now add 40 to 299 you will get $339 minus 50 cents will be 25 so $339.25 would be the original price of the bike.
