Hello, thanks for usin Brainly. :)

Let's solve by using distributive property.

8(2x-6)=96

16x-6=96

16x-48=96

     +48 +48

16x = 144

x = 9

First, what we did was do 8 x 2 & 6 x 8.

Then, we got 16x-6=96.

We want to get X by itself, therefore we need to get rid of -48, so we 48 to all of our terms.

Then our equation should look like 16x = 144.

Divide and get 9!

Therefore, x = 9.

Wait, how can we be sure?

Let's check our answer.

Let's allow our x value to be 9.

Now, our equation should look like:

8(2(9)-6=96

Follow the PEMDAS rule.

8(18-6)=96

8(12)=96

8 times 12 is 96.

96 = 96 Done!

Therefore, we know our answer is correct.

Inga [223]

Answer:

-26,-24,-22

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>The correct question is</u></em>

The sum of three consecutive even integers is -72. what are the three numbers

Let

x ----> the first consecutive even integer

x+2 ----> the second consecutive even integer

x+4 ----> the third consecutive even integer

we know that

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=-72

solve for x

3x+6=-72\\3x=-78\\x=-26

so

x+2=-26+2=-24

x+4=-26+4=-22

therefore

the numbers are

-26,-24,-22
