Let's name the three consecutive even numbers n, n+2, and n+4. We know that their sum will be divisible by 2 because they are all even, so we can set x = n/2, and say that x + x+1 + x+2 = 48/2 = 24. Then, we can solve for 3x + 3 = 24, 3x = 24-3 = 21, and x = 21/3 = 7.
Final answer: n/2 = 7, so n = 14, so n+4 (the greatest number) is 14+4 = 
18.

3. What is the solution set of the equation 3x + 5) = x + 2?
Simora [160]
The solution set of 3x+5=x+2 is x=-1. This is because you want to get the variables on one side and the numbers on the other. you subtract x on both sides and subtract 5 on both sides. your equation then becomes 3x=-3. you then divide 3 on both sides and you get your answer of x=-1.
