Question 425699
The sum of three consecutive even integers is the same as twice the smallest of these integers. List these three integers in order from smallest to greatest
-----
1st: 2x-2
2nd: 2x
3rd: 2x+2
-----
Equation:
sum = 2(2x-2)
6x = 4x-4
2x = -4
x = -2
---------
1st: 2x-2 = -6
2nd: -4
3rd: -2
