A. What 3 consecutive even numbers added together equal 42? Use the equation n+(n+2) +(n+4)=42 to help you solve
B. Give an example of an equation that has a solution of 5.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 12,14,16

B) 3x+1=16

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

They already gave you the equation to solve:

n+(n+2)+(n+4)=42

n+n+2+n+4=42

Put like terms together:

n+n+n+2+4=42

Combine the like terms:

3n+6=42

Subtract 6 on both sides:

3n=42-6

Simplify:

3n=36

Divide both sides by 3:

n=36/3

Simplify:

n=12

If n=12,

then

n+2=14 and

n+4=16.

Check the addition of those numbers: 12+14+16=26+16=42.

B)

There is a lot of equations that have a solution of 5.

It might be good start with x=5.

Then just remember whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other.

x=5

Multiply both sides by 3:

3x=15

Add 1 on both sides:

3x+1=16

An example of equation that solution 5 is 3x+1=16.
