----------------------------------------------------
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

Hey Tro2,

Lets find the product of your equation together,

The question we are encountering is : What is the product (9t-4)(-9t<span>-4)?

Lets simplify this step by step, shall we.

$\left(9t-4\right)\left(-9t-4\right)$ : Equation

$\mathrm{Distribute\:parentheses\:using}:\quad \left(a+b\right)\left(c+d\right)=ac+ad+bc+bd$ .

Where : $a=9t,\:b=-4,\:c=-9t,\:d=-4$ .

This leads to $9t\left(-9t\right)+9t\left(-4\right)-4\left(-9t\right)-4\left(-4\right)$ .

Now we have to $\mathrm{Apply\:minus-plus\:rules}$ .

</span>Where: $-\left(-a\right)=a,\:\:\:\:+\left(-a\right)=-a$

$-9t\cdot \:9t-9t\cdot \:4+4\cdot \:9t+4\cdot \:4$

$=-81t^2+16$
