Question 482494
let the three consecutive even integers be; x, (x+2), (x+4)
:
write an equation for the phrase:
"the second integer plus the third integer is 18 more than the first integer."
(x+2) + (x+4) = x + 18
2x + 6 = x + 18
2x - x = 18 - 6
x = 12, then 14 and 16 are next even integers
:
Check that in the statement;
 the second integer plus the third integer is 18 more than the first integer."
14 + 16 = 12 + 18
:
Not that hard, right?
