Step-by-step explanation:
If y is largest number, you want y, and the two next smaller even integers smaller than y - i.e. y, y-2, and y-4
The sum of these is y + (y-2) + (y-4).
This simplifies to 3y - 6 or 3(y - 2)
Since we don’t know what y is, this is as far as we can solve the problem.
I'll do 22 for you. 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30, are very similar to each other.
PROPORTIONS:
Draw it out.
5/7 = either c/6, or b/5.
I'll do c/6
5/7 = c/6
solve for c
7c=30
c=30/7
now do the same thing to the remaining side, b.
there!
