Question

Find three consecutive even integers such that the sum of the first integer and three times the third integer is 64 more than the second integer

Answer 1

If you assume n is the smallest of the even integers, how could you write the next two interns of n, since they are 2 and 4 units away, respectively?

Answer 2

hint: letting n be the first even integer, then the next is n+2, what would the next be?

Answer 3

Supoose the smallest integer is 18, the using zzr0ck3r's expression the next integer would be 18 +2 = 20. What is the third of the integers in terms of n?

Answer 4

I get the point thanks

Answer 5

Can you set-up the equation?

Answer 6

n+3(n+4)=n+66

Answer 7

Yes!!! you are right. I must be getting punchy!

Answer 8

Now you are set. Solve for n, then complete the sequence.
