Answer:

First Integer = 16

Second Integer = 18

Third integer = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

An even integer is represented by 2n

Where n is any integer

Let :

First Integer = 2n - 2

Second Integer = 2n

Third integer = 2n + 2

The sum of three even consecutive numbers = 2n - 2 + 2n + 2n + 2

= 2n + 2n + 2n - 2 + 2 = 54

= 6n = 54

n = 54/6

n = 9

First Integer = 2n - 2 = 2(9) - 2

= 16

Second Integer = 2n = 2(9)

= 18

Third integer = 2n + 2 = 2(9) + 2

= 20

Does this equation have one solution, unlimited, or none? If its one (its not unlimited) show your work so I can understand it.
Musya8 [376]

Answer: none

1) combine like terms: 4x + 8 = 4x - 13

2) Add 13 to both sides (addition property of equality)

3) Subtract 4x from both sides (subtraction property of equality)

4) 21 does not equal 0
