Question

Chloe is trying to find three consecutive, positive integers such that six times the largest is equal to the twice sum of the two smaller integers. Show that the three consecutive, positive integers 4, 5, and 6 are not the ones Chloe is looking for.

Answer 1

36 ≠ 18

36 does not equal 18

Explanation:

use real numbers

it will be like translating

directions will make more sense

start with 4 5 6

six times 6 is = to the 2 times (4+5).

Show that the three consecutive, positive integers 4, 5, and 6 are not the ones Chloe is looking for

directions say with 4 5 6

"are not the ones Chloe is looking for" so

six times the largest DOES NOT EQUAL the twice sum of the two smaller integers

six times 6 ≠ to the 2 times (4+5)

6 * 6 ≠ 2 * 9

36 ≠ 18 <- question is only asking you to give this answer
