2 answers:

6 0

----------------------------------------------------
Define the numbers
----------------------------------------------------
Let the first even number be x
1st even number = x
2nd even number = x + 2
3rd even number = x + 4

----------------------------------------------------
Form the equation and solve
----------------------------------------------------
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -6
3x + 6 = -6
3x = - 12
x = -4

----------------------------------------------------
Find the numbers
----------------------------------------------------
1st even number = x = -4
2nd even number = x + 2 = -4 + 2 = -2
3rd even number = x + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0

----------------------------------------------------
Answers: The numbers are -4, -2 and 0

Answer:

30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So since we know the scale of the map (3 in : 15 mi) we will just have to find out how much 3 inches fits into 6 inches and then multiply the result by 15 miles. So we do the following steps.......
