The sum of two consecutive even integers is 54. What are the two integers?

26 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sum of two even numbers = 54

let one number be x

another number be x +2

x + x +2 = 54

2x + 2 = 54

2x = 54 - 2

2x = 52

x = 52/2

x = 26

Therefore, the numbers are 26 and 26 + 2 = 28..

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
