Two consecutive even integers have a sum of 346. find the smailler of these two numbers

Smallest number = 172

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive even integers have a sum of 346.

Let x be the smallest number.

We have other number = x + 2

We also have

           x + x + 2 = 346

           2x + 2 = 346

           2 x = 344

            x = 172

Smallest number = 172, Other number = 172 + 2 = 174

Smallest number = 172

correct answer:

a + bi

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
