Question

The sum of three consecutive even intergers is 30. what are the intergers?

Answer 1

8, 10, 12

Explanation:

3 consecutive even integers are 8, 10, 12

8 + 10 + 12 = 30.

Answer 2

8, 10 ,12

Explanation:

Let x be the first integer

x+2 is the second

x+4 is the third

The sum is 30

x+ x+2 + x+4 = 30

Combine like terms

3x+6 = 30

Subtract 6 from each side

3x+6 -6 =30-6

3x = 24

Divide by 6

3x/6 = 24/6

x = 8

x, x+2, x+4 is 8, 8+2, 8+4,

8, 10 ,12
