Will give ! ! write a mathematical equation stating that three consecutive even integers add up four times the smallest !

Hey there!!

Let's take the first number an the smallest number as ' x '

Then, the second consecutive even integer would become ' x + 2 '

Third integer ' x + 4 '

Hence, adding them up, we get,

x + x + 2 + x + 4

... 3x + 6

This is equal to 4 times the smallest number.

We got the smallest number as ' x '

Hence, the final equation :

... 3x + 6 = 4x

Hope my answer helps!!

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
