[6] ([3] + [50])
Just make sure you understand how to work backward with problems like this if you are ever confused. :)) good luck!!
The answer to this equation is x=63
<span>Let n, n+2, and n+4 represent the three consecutive even integers.</span>
Expand

if we compare


a=1
b=m+n
c=mn
if b is negative and c is positive then
m+n<0 and mn>0
let's look at the 2nd one
mn>0
that means either m and n are both positive or both negative
look at the other one
m+n<0
if they are both positive, this is false
if they are both negative, this is true
therefor m and n are both negative
