We can write the equation: x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -48, where x is the least digit and x + 4 is the greatest. We get 3x + 6 = -48, 3x = -54. x = -18, so x + 2 is -20, and x + 4 is -22. Therefore, the 3 consecutive even integers that sum to -48 are -18, -20, and -22.

Hope this helps!
If you would like to solve the equation - 2/5 * x + 6 = 8, you can do this using the following steps:
- 2/5 * x + 6 = 8
- 2/5 * x = 8 - 6
- 2/5 * x = 2 /*(-5/2)
x = 2 * (- 5/2)
x = - 5
The correct result would be -5.
7 = 2n - 2
n= a number so twice a number is 2n and 7 is 2 less than twice this number.
