Let n represent the interger l, the three consective intergers are represented by



The second one represent

Simplify both sides






The intergers are 16,18,20
The pattern is multiple the previous term by three. So you take 162 and multiply it by three and get 486 (3x162=486)
Answer:
mutipication
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 3 = 2x
Add 3 on both sides
3x - 3 + 3 = 2x + 3
3x = 2x + 3
Subtract 2x on both sides
3x - 2x = 2x + 3 - 2x
3x - 2x = 3
x = 3
So, your final answer is x = 3.
