Answer:

A.

6x plus 16 equals 82

6x + 16 = 82

Explanation:

x, x + 2, x + 4 - three consecutive odd integers

The equation:

"the sum of the​ first, two times the second and three times the third is 82"

x + 2(x + 2) + 3(x + 4) = 82 use distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac

x + 2x + 4 + 3x + 12 = 82 combine like terms

(x + 2x + 3x) + (4 + 12) = 82

6x + 16 = 82
