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. which equation can be used to find the first integer? a)3x = 2x + 6 b)3x + 6 = 36 c)3x + 36 = 2x + 6 d)2x + 6 = 36

Let

x------>  the first even integer

x+2---->the second even integer

x+3---->the third even integer

we know that

-----> equation that represent the situation

solve for x

Combine like terms in the left side

therefore

the answer is the option B

m a t h w a y. c o m

step-by-step explanation:

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
