Can you please explain how (2x-2)(2x+2)=5(2x)+2 is the answer to "find three consecutive even integers such that when the first integer is multiplied by the third the result is two more than five times the second integer. Thanks!!!
---------
1st:: 2(x-1)
2nd:: 2(x)
3rd:: 2(x+1)
-----------------
Equation:
2(x-1)*2(x+1)) = 5(2(x))+2
---------
(2x-2)(2x+2) = 5(2x)+2
----------------
Cheers,
