Find three consecutive even integers such asthat three times the first equals the sum of the other two
Answer provided by our tutors
the three consecutive even integers can be written as:
2x - 2, 2x and 2x+2, where x is integer
three times the first equals the sum of the other two:
3(2x - 2) = 2x + (2x + 2)
by solving we find:
x = 4
