Question 24357: Please help. I have been workingon this for a hour.
The difference of twice the least and the greatest of three consecutive even integers is equal to the middle integer decreased by 4.
Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Maybe I'm wrong, but I keep coming up with the integers being odd instead of
even.
(N + 2) - 4 = (N + 4) -2*N
N - 2 = -N + 4
2*N = 6
N = 3
This makes the integers 3,5 and 7
Suppose 2*n is greater than N+4
(N+2) - 4 = 2*N - (N+4)
N - 2 = N - 4
N = N - 2
That could only mean the numbers are 0, 2, and 4, but that doesn't check
Are you sure you've got the statement of the problem right?
