Let's assume you mean the greatest <em>even</em> integer is 2x.
That means the other two are 2(x-1) and 2(x-2) so the sum is
S = 2x + 2(x-1) + 2(x-2) = 2x + 2x - 2 + 2x - 4 = 6x - 6
Answer: 6x-6

2.Factor out the GCF of a polynomial.
3.Factor a polynomial with four terms by grouping.
4.Factor a trinomial of the form trinomial.
5.Factor a trinomial of the form trinomial.
6.Indicate if a polynomial is a prime polynomial.
7.Factor a perfect square trinomial.
8.Factor a difference of squares.
9.Factor a sum or difference of cubes.
10.Apply the factoring strategy to factor a polynomial completely.
To find the missing width/length for the perimeter of a rectangle:
You multiply the found length/width, in this case, the length, by 2. Since there are 2 of the same sides of a rectangle.
6*2 = 12
Now, you have to subtract the perimeter, 26, from the product.
36 - 12 = 24.
You have to divide the difference by 2 because 24 is the 2 missing sides put together.
24/2 = 12
So, the missing width is 12 feet.
