Question
The sum of four consecutive odd integers is 56. What is the
smallest integer?
Select one:
a. 9
b. 11
C. 5
O d. 17
Abe is three years older than Jen. Two years ago, the sum of
their ages was 47. If we let x be Abe's present age and y be
Jen's age, which system best represents finding Abe's age
now?
Select one:
a.
O b.
y=x+3
{(x-
(x − 2) + (y − 2) = 47
x = y + 3
{(x-2)
(x − 2) + (y − 2) = 47
0 (x = y + 3
O d.
(2x + 2y = 47
x = y + 3
(x−y) - 2 = 47
