Problema Solution

three consecutive even integers can be represented by n.n+2,n+4. if the sum of the 3 consecutive even integers is 42, what are the integers?

Answer provided by our tutors

Given,

n+n+2+n+4=42

or, 3n+6=42

or, 3n=42-6=36

or, n=36/3=12

Therefore,

The integers are, n=12

                         n+2=12+2=14

                         n+4=12+4=16

Answer=12,14,16
