Answer:
3x - 4 = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve for x to find the number (knowing that x is the unknown number).
3x - 4 = 32
3x = 32 + 4
3x = 36
x/3 = 36/3
x = 12
Numerical expression:
2 * 8 - 4 or 12

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
