Suppose the three integers are x, x+2, and x+4
x+x+2+x+4=288
3x+6=288
3x=282
x=94
the three numbers are 94, 96, and 98

48/6 = 8
every 1 cup of water 8 oz of tomato paste.
The least common multiple must always be at least as big as the biggest number in the group. But the greatest common factor can never be bigger than the smallest number in the group. So the LCM is always bigger than the GCF.
3x2-8x+5
=6-8x+5
=6-3x-5x+5
=3(2-x)-5(x-1)
Answer: 3. 5 7/20,
Explanation: I took -3 2/5 and turned it into -17/5 and did the same with 8 3/4 which is 35/4. I gave them both the same denominator so I could add them together and it became -68/20 + 140/20 which equals 107/20
