The first number of three consecutive even integers equals the sum of the second and third. find the three numbers.
if x represents the smallest integer, then which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?
ox= 2x + 6
ox= 2x + 3
2x + 2 = x + 4

x=2x+6 is the equation that to solve for the smallest.

The three numbers are -6, -4 , and -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the smallest of three consecutive even integers.

The next even integer would then have to be x+2 (because x+1 is odd if x is even).

The third one in this sequence would have to be x+4 (because x+3 is odd if x is even).

We are given the first of these numbers equals the sum of the second and third.

So we have x=(x+2)+(x+4).

Combine like terms on right hand side:

x=x+x+2+4

Simplify the combining:

x=2x+6

Subtract 2x on both sides:

x-2x=6

Simplify left hand side:

-x=6

Multiply both sides by -1:

x=-6

If x=-6,  then the three mentioned numbers are:

x=-6

x+2=-6+2=-4

x+4=-6+4=-2

The three numbers are -6, -4 , and -2.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

1st part is 64,000,000

2nd part 500,000
