First, to set up consecutive odd or even integers you have to add 2 to the previous integer.
Let x be the first integer,
(x + 2), (x + 4), and (x + 6)
Now set up the parameters they give:
3(x + x + 2) = x + 6 - 25
Solving:
Combine like terms and distribute on the left, combine like terms on the right.
3(2x + 2) = x - 19
6x + 6 = x - 19
Subtract x from both sides and subtract 6 from both sides.
5x = -25
Divide both sides by 5
x = -5
x + 2 = -5 + 2 = -3
x + 4 = -5 + 4 = -1
x + 6 = -5 + 6 = 1
Check:
3(-5 + -3) ?=? 1 - 25
-24 ?=? -24 CORRECT
I believe the correct answer is: B. But I’m not sure.
Answer:
answer 1962323
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial salary of 32200 remains constant, but 700 is added each year.
Karla's salary can be expressed as a function of t years:
s(t) = 32200 + 700t
