X^2 + kx + 15 = 0
3^2 + 3k + 15 = 0
9 + 3k + 15 = 0
24 + 3k = 0
3k = -24
k = -24/ 3
k = -8

What is the sum of three even consecutive integers is -72

Inga [223]

Answer:

$-26,-24,-22$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

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

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

$x+2=-26+2=-24$

$x+4=-26+4=-22$

therefore

the numbers are

$-26,-24,-22$
