The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 438. What is the 2nd number?

First number = x

Second number = x + 2

Third number = x + 4

X + x +2 + x + 4 = 438

Simplify:

3x + 6 = 438

Subtract 3 from both sides

3x = 432

Divide both sides by 3

X = 144

The second number is 144 + 2 = 146

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.

only 10/60 isn't equivalent

hope this : )
