If the sum of three consecutive even integers is 204 what is the first of the three even integars? Hint:if x and x+2 represent the first two consecutive even integers, then how would The third consecutive even integer be represented?
1st integer: x
2nd integer: x + 2
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 204
3x + 6 = 204
3x = 204 - 6
3x = 198
x, or 1st integer = , or
