Answer:

The largest even integer is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The sum of four consecutive even number = - 12

Let The first even number = 2 x

The second even number = (2 x + 2)

The third even number = (2 x + 4)

The fourth even number = (2 x + 6)

<u>According to question</u>

sum of four consecutive even number = - 12

Or, 2 x + (2 x + 2) + (2 x + 4) + (2 x + 6) = - 12

Or, (2 x + 2 x + 2 x + 2 x) + (2 + 4 + 6) = - 12

Or, 8 x + 12 = - 12

Or, 8 x = - 12 - 12

Or, 8 x = - 24

∴  x = \frac{- 24}{8}

i.e  x = - 3

now, putting the value of x

The first even number = 2 × - 3 = - 6

The second even number = (2 × - 3 + 2) = - 6 + 2 = - 4

The third even number = (2 × - 3 + 4) = - 6 + 4 = - 2

The fourth even number = (2 × - 3 + 6) = - 6 + 6 = 0

So, The largest even integer = 0

Hence, The largest even integer is 0  Answer

Answer:

-31

Step-by-step explanation:

(2×x) - (2×5) = (3×x) + (3×7)

2x-10 = 3x+21

2x-3x = 21+10

-x = 31

therefore, x = -31
