Find two consecutive even integers whose sum is -50. Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem? A) 2 x + 2 = -50 B) 2 x = -50 C) 2 x + 1 = -50 D) x^2 + 1= -50

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]2x+2=-50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x+2=y\\x+y=-50\\x+x+2=-50\\2x+2=-50[/tex]

The equation that can be used to find out [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]2x+2=-50[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\mathrm{A}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive even integers.

The first integer is even and can be as [tex]x[/tex]

The second integer is also even and can be as [tex]x+2[/tex]

Their sum is [tex]-50[/tex]

[tex]x+x+2=-50[/tex]

[tex]2x+2=-50[/tex]
