Three consecutive even integers.x+(x+2)+(x+4)?

Question

how do i solve this

three consecutive even integers.

x+(x+2)+(x+4)

Answer 1

You combine like terms; so it becomes 3x + 6.  If you know what the sum of the three integers is supposed to be, you set 3x + 6 equal to that.  For example, if the three integers add up to 36, solve like this:

3x + 6 = 36

Subtract 6 from both sides:

3x = 30

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 10

The integers are 10, 12, and 14.
