The greater of two consecutive even integers is six less than twice the smaller

X would be the bigger number and the smaller would be x-2 since they are consecutive evens. X = 2x -4 -6
Add like terms and subtract 2x from both sides. You get -x = -10. Divide that by -1 since you can't have a negative variable in your answer and you get x = 10. The other number is x-2 so the numbers are 10 and 8.

I'll do the first one for you. it isn't very hard at all.on number one, you have (50 × 3), which equals 150, and (3 × 3), which equals 9. after you establish that, you add 150 and 9 together. so, (150 + 9) equals 159.this means that 53 × 3 = 159.
