If x represents the first, or smaller, of two consecutive even integers, express the sum of the two integers in terms of x

The sum of the two integers in terms of x will be 2x+2

Let the smaller number = x

Let the bigger number = x+2

Therefore, the addition of both numbers will be:

= x + (x+2)

= 2x + 2

Therefore, the sum of the two integers in terms of x is 2x + 2.

let the first integer be x and the second be x + 2

then the sum is x +x+2 = 2x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
