X = smallest; x + 2 = middle, and x + 4 = largest
x + 2(x+2) = 20 + x + 4
x + 2x + 4=24 +x
3x + 4 = 24 + x
2x = 20
x = 10
so the three integers are 10, 12, and 14
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps you dear friend.
First you would need to convert the equation to match the y = mx + b format.
Subtract 2x from both sides to get -y = -2x + 3
Then, divide -1 (because that's the coefficient to -y, on all values, turning to equation into
y = 2x - 3 (negative and negative makes a positive that's why the 2 value is now positive) in order to make the y value positive.
Our y intercept is -3 so start your graphing line on the -3 value on the x axis.
Our slope is 2/1 which means to go up 2 point and right 1 point, since it's a positive slope.
You can mark every point in order to get a more accurate line and just connect the dots from there. Be sure to use a ruler or some sort of straightedge for a better line.
Hope this helped :)
