3 consecutive even integers : x, x + 2, x + 4

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = -84.....combine like terms
3x + 6 = - 84.......subtract 6 from each side
3x = -84 - 6
3x = - 90...divide both sides by 3
x = -90/3
x = -30

x + 2 = -30 + 2 = -28
x + 4 = -30 + 4 = -26

so ur 3 numbers are : -26, -28, -30

Since they are consecutive even integers, they would differ by 2.

Let the first even integer be x.

x , x + 2,  x + 4

Sum = -84

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -84

x + x + x + 2 + 4 = -84

3x + 6 = -84

3x = -84 - 6

3x = -90

x = -90/3

x = -30

Hence the even integers are:  x,  x + 2 , x + 4

-30,  -30 + 2,  -30 + 2 + 2

-30,  -28, -26

Hence the consecutive even integers are: -30,  -28, -26

Hannah buys 2/3 pound of roast beef. She uses 1/4 pound to make sandwiches for lunch. How much roast beef does she have left?
Vanyuwa [196]
First we need to make both fractions equal to each other, and that means having to have the denominators the same.

What both 3 and 12 easily go into is 12.

So we need to make both fractions have a denominator of 12, so we multiply.

2/3 * 4/4 = 8 / 12

1/4 * 3/3 = 3 / 12

Now, we know that she has 8 / 12 pounds, and she uses 3 / 12 of it, so now we subtract to find how much she has left.

8 - 3 = 5

Out of the 12 pounds of roast beef, she now has 5 / 12 left.
