The sum of three consecutive even integers is 36. let x represent the first integer, x + 2 represent the second integer, and x + 4 represent the third integer. what equation can be used to find the first integer

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the 3 consecutive integers and equate to 36

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 36

3x + 6 = 36 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 10

The 3 consecutive integers are

10, 10 + 2, 10 + 4, that is

10, 12, 14

its 4 because 2 times 2 is 4, if you double the number two you get four

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
