Algebra.Com's Answer #585198 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4 times the first of three consecutive EVEN integers is 6 more then the product of 2 and the 3rd integer.Find the integers. I keep getting odd numbers for my integers instead of even. I tried this, but I must be setting it up wrong.... \n" ); document.write( "integers are : x, x + 2, x + 4 \n" ); document.write( "set it up like this : 4(x) = 2(x + 4) + 6 \n" ); document.write( "that does not work....what am I doing wrong ? \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "4x = 2*(x+4) + 6 \n" ); document.write( "4x = 2x+8 + 6 = 2x + 14 \n" ); document.write( "x = 7 \n" ); document.write( "=================== \n" ); document.write( "There's no solution with even integers. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Try 6, 8 & 10 \n" ); document.write( "4*6 =? 2*10 + 6 NG \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Try 8, 10 & 12 \n" ); document.write( "4*8 =? 2*12 + 6 NG \n" ); document.write( " |
