Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1/4(x + 12)=2 - first isolate X'
- 12 -12
2. 1/4(x) = -10 - 1/4 since its a fraction, you'll have to subtract not divide
-1/4 - 1/4
3. x = -10.25
Andre did the first step correctly, but on the second step he just divided 1.4 by -10, instead of subtract 1/4 from both sides.
The first integer (x) is equal to the consecutive even integers, x+2, x+4.
x = (x+2) + (x+4)
x = 2x + 6
x - 6 = 2x
x = -6 (First integer)
+2
-4 (Second integer)
+4
-2 (Third integer)
Integers: -6, -4, -2
Equation: x = (x+2) + (x+4)
just do what it said and you'll get the answer
