The sum of three consecutive even integers is 72. what are the three numbers? ( explain)

the answer is 22, 24, 26.

we start out with a number,  x.

since the question is three even numbers we have to add 2 to each past number to make sure that they are even.

number 1:   xnumber 2:   x+2number 3:   x+4

now, we add all of them up and set them equal to 72.

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=72

and now comes the easiest step. solve for  x.

x+x+(x+4)=70

x+x+x=66

3x=66

(3x)/3=66/3

x=22

since we got 22 we can tell that the rest is 24 and then 26 because they are consecutive(in a row). the answer would not be odd because it asks for consecutive even numbers so we skip over the odd to get to the next even numbers
