Since the answer numbers are consecutive, they will be equal to -
\n" ); document.write( "x, x+2, and x+4
\n" ); document.write( "Your entire equation should be x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 4x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "[Combine like terms]
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 6 = 4x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "[Subtract 3x from both sides]
\n" ); document.write( "6 = x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "[Add 10 to both sides]
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16 [the smallest integer in the set]
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "x + 4 = 20
\n" ); document.write( "So, your three consecutive even integers should be 16, 18, and 20.
\n" ); document.write( "But, always check your answer to make sure it's correct.
\n" ); document.write( "16 + 18 + 20 = 4(16) - 10
\n" ); document.write( "54 = 64 - 10
\n" ); document.write( "54 = 54
\n" ); document.write( "So, your answer is correct!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
