Consecutive numbers differ by one. So, if 
is the first, the three numbers are
The sum of the first and third integer is
X=4. 4/2=2 and 8/4=2 making the equations equal
Hello there!
2(x - 3) = 2x + 5
Let's start by using the distributive property for the left side.
(2)(x) + (2)(-3) = 2x + 5
2x - 6 = 2x + 5
Then we need to add 6 to both sides
2x - 6 + 6 = 2x + 5 + 6
2x = 2x + 11
We need to transfer 2x on the left side, we gonna do that by subtracting 2x from both sides
2x - 2x = 2x + 11 - 2x
0 = 11
Thus,
There are no solutions.
I hope this helps!
Good luck with your career!
