Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

<span>Instead of k, k+1, k+2, you should use k, k+2, k+4 with the constraint that k is even (i.e. if you return an odd integer for k, or a non-integer, then return no solution). 

</span><span>k + (k+2) + (k+4) = 4k

</span><span>3k + 6 = 4k
k = 6 

</span><span>Indeed, 6+8+10 = 4*6.</span>

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let k be the first even integer

then, next even integer will be k+2

and the next consecutive even integer will be k+4

Sum of three consecutive even integers was 4 times the first of those integers.

i.e. k+(k+2)+(k+4)=4k

3k+6=4k

6=4k-3k

i.e. k=6

Jared wrote and solved the equation:

k+ (k+1) + (k+2) = 4k

i.e. 3k+3=4k

i.e. 4k-3k=3

i.e. k=3

No, he didn't get the correct answer

(since, he wrote 3 consecutive integers as k,k+1 and k+2 instead of k,k+2 and k+4)

Find the distance between the points (-21, 17) and (33, 17)
Norma-Jean [14]
Plug it into the distance formula.

d= (sqrt) (x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2

d= (sqrt) (17-17)^2 + (33-(-21)^2
d=(sqrt) (0)^2 + (33 +21)^2
d= (sqrt) (54)^2
d= (sqrt) 2916
d=54

The distance is 54 units. 

I hope this helps!
