Algebra.Com's Answer #179899 by richwmiller(17219) You can put this solution on YOUR website! let n=first integer \n" ); document.write( "n+1=second \n" ); document.write( "n+2=third \n" ); document.write( "2n+4(n+1)=20+2(n+2) \n" ); document.write( "2n+4n+4=20+2n+4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "combine and simplify \n" ); document.write( "6n+4=24+2n \n" ); document.write( "subtract 2n from both sides \n" ); document.write( "4n+4=24 \n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from both sides \n" ); document.write( "4n=20 \n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 4 \n" ); document.write( "n=5:n+1=6:n+2=7 \n" ); document.write( "integers are 5,6,7 \n" ); document.write( "check \n" ); document.write( "2(5)+4(6)=20+2(7) \n" ); document.write( "10+24=20+14 \n" ); document.write( "34=34 \n" ); document.write( "ok\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
