N; n + 2 - the two consecutive even integers
n + 3(n + 2) = 46
n + 3n + 6 = 46   <em> |subtract 6 from both sides</em>
4n = 40      <em>  |divide both sides by 4</em>
n = 10
n + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
<u>Answer: 10 and 12.</u>
        
             
        
        
        
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The exit for Freestone is built midway between Roseville and Edgewood,
therefore the distance from O to the new exit is
(1/2)*(33+55) = 44 mi.
Let x =  distance from Midtown to the new exit.
Because the distance from O to the new exit is equal to (x + 17), therefore
x + 17 = 44
x = 44 - 17 = 27 mi.
Answer:
When the new exit is built, the distance from the exit for Midtown to the exit for Freestone will be 27 miles.
 
        
        
        
I think it should be x(ax +b) + c. Not sure though.
