Question

Find three consecutive even integers if three times the first integer is two times the third

Answer 1

Solution:

Let's name the three consecutive numbers as y, y + 2, and y + 4.

Note that:

• => Equation formed: 3(y) = 2(y + 4)

Solve the equation to find the three consecutive numbers.

• 3(y) = 2(y + 4)
• => 3y = 2y + 8
• => 3y - 2y = 8
• => y = 8

The numbers are 8, 10, and 12.
