Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first even integer be a.

The second even integer = a + 2

The third even integer = 2 + (a + 2) = a + 4

The sum of three consecutive even integers = 78

78 = a + (a + 2) + (a + 4)

78 = 3a + 6

72 = 3a

a = 24

The largest even integers is the third even integer = a + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28

Answer:

is the sum 78 or 7,878 (i.e. was there a stutter)?

In any event, this sum must be even, so 3 consecutive even integers would be n, n+2 & n+4 whose sum is 3n + 6.

Set that to either 78 or 7878, whichever is intended, & solve for n.   If 78 is their grand total, then those 3 consecutive even numbers have to be 24, 26 & 28.

No stress!  Just logic! Keep the faith!

Solve for x in the equation.
oksano4ka [1.4K]
x^2 + 20x + 100 = 36

(x + 10)^2 = 36

x + 10 = \pm \sqrt{36}

x + 10 = 6   or   x + 10 = -6

x = -4   or   = -16
