Three consecutive even numbers have a sum between 84 and 96.
1st: 2x-2
2nd: 2x
3rd: 2x+2
=======================
a. Write an inequality to find the three numbers. Let n represent the smallest even number
Note:: Letting "n" be the smallest is not the smartest thing to do.
--------------------
84 < 6x < 96
b. Solve the inequality.
Divide thru by 6 to get:
14 < x < 24
