The sum of three consecutive even integers is 72.
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation you would use to find the integers.
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x + 1) + (x + 3) = 72
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 72
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 72
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 72
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The last one works.
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 72
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 6 = 72
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 66
\n" ); document.write( "x = 22
\n" ); document.write( "--> 22, 24 & 26
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "I would do it the easy way, tho.
\n" ); document.write( "72/3 = 24 which is the middle number.
\n" ); document.write( "--> 22, 24 & 26\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
