Question

the sum of three consecutive even integers is less than or equal to 42. find the largest set of these numbers

Answer 1

13, 14, 15

Explanation:

13 + 14 + 15 = 42

Better explanation:

n + (n+1) + (n+2) = 42

42 - 2 - 1 = 39

n + n + n = 39

3n = 39 divide by 3 to isolate n

n = 13

So it starts with 13 and goes up from there.
