​(Type an expression using x as the​ variable.)

Answer 1

sum of 1st and 3rd integers

= x +x+4 = 2x+4

S = 2x+4

Answer 2

Any time you are turning a word problem into a mathematical equation, you want to look at the words and see if you can change them into math symbols. So, sum means you are adding.

The first term is x. The second term would be x+2 (because they are only even numbers), and the third term would be x+4.

So, the sum of the first and third terms would be x + x + 4.

Simplified means you are combining like terms. So that would be 2x + 4.
