Question

Need help with 4. can you show solve and show the steps please?

Answer 1

Given:

The sum of the three consecutive even intergers is 60.

Let 2a, 2a+2, and 2a+4 be the three consecutive even integers.

`2a+2a+2+2a+4=60`

`6a+6=60`

Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get

`6a+6-6=60-6`

`6a=54`

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

`(6a)/(6)=(54)/(6)`
`a=9`

The consecutive integers are

`2*9,2*9+2\text{ and }2*9+4`

`18,20,22`

Hence the answer is

`18,20,22`
