Question

Choose the equation that represents the following: The smaller of two consecutive even integers is eight less than twice the greater:
a. x = 8 - 2 (x + 2)
b. x = 2(x + 2) - 8
c. x + 2 = 8 - 2 (x + 2)
d. x + 2 = 2( x + 2) - 8

Answer 1

Answer:

let two consecutive even integers x and x+2, where smaller no. is x and greater no. is x+2

Now it is given that :

1) smaller no is 8 less than the greater.

2) twice of greater no.

x=2(x+2) -8
