Question 158269: If the first and third of three consecutive even integers are added, the result is 12 less than three times the second integer. find the integers.
2x+4=12-3x-6
2x+4x=6-3x Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! FIRST INTEGER=X
SECOND=X+2
THIRD=X+4
X+(X+4)=3(X+2)-12
2X+4=3X+6-12
2X-3X=-6-4
-X=-10
X=10 FOR THE FIRST INTEGER.
10=2-12 FOR THE SECOND
10=4=14 FOR THE THIRD.
PROOF
10+14=3*12-12
24=36-12
24=24
