Problema Solution

Find three consecutive even integers with a sum of -30

Answer provided by our tutors

let '2n' represent the first integer, then '2n+2' and '2n+4' represent the second and third


-30 = 2n + 2n+2 + 2n+4

solving for 'n' we have n=-6


-6*2 = -12

-6*2 + 2 = -10

-6*2 + 4 = -8


the integers are -12, -10, and -8
