find three consecutive even integers whose sum is 270
1st: 2x-2
2nd: 2x
3rd: 2x+2
---
Equatiion:
sum = 270
6x = 270
x = 45
----
1st: 2x-2 = 88
2nd: 2x = 90
3rd: 2x+2 = 92
=====================
the sum of four consecutive odd intergers is 216. find the four integers.
1st: 2x-3
2nd: 2x-1
3rd: 2x+1
4th: 2x+3
----
Equation:
sum = 216
8x = 216
x = 27
----
1st: 2x-3 = 51
2nd: 53
3rd: 55
4th: 57
