Question

If the first and third of three consecutive even integers are added, the result is 22 less than three times the second integer. Find the integer.

Answer 1

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

x + x + 4 = 3(x + 2) - 22
2x + 4 = 3x + 6 - 22
2x + 4 = 3x - 16
16 + 4 = 3x - 2x
20 = x

x + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
x + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24

ur 3 integers are : 20,22,24
