Answer 1

u cant solve the problem ...

Answer 2

x-1 , x , x+1
given
(x+1)(3) = (x-1+x)-2
3x+3 = 2x-1-2
3x+3=2x-3
x=-6
x-1=-7
x+1=-5

Answer 3

kushashwa, you have three consecutive integers, not three consecutive even integers...

Answer 4

\[x+2 , x+4,x+6\]
\[3x+18 = 2x+6-2\]
\[3x+18=2x+4\]
\[3x-2x=4-18\]
\[x=-14\]
\[x+2=-12\]
\[x+4=-10\]
\[x+6=-8\]

Answer 5

Answer 6

got it now jelly delos santos

Answer 7

x-2, x , x+2
3(x+2)=2(x+x-2)-2
3x+6=2x+2x-4-2
3x+6=4x-6
x=12

so the consecutive even numbers are 10,12,14

Answer 8

actuallly tomorrow is my exam i am confused doing maths today sorry for the mistakes
\[3x+18=2(x+4+x+2)-2\]
\[3x+18=4x+12-2\]
\[3x+18-10=4x\]
\[8=x\]
\[x+6=14\]
\[x+4=12\]
\[x+2=10\]

Answer 9
