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

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
