Answers
Answer:
Let the three consecutive even integers be n-2,n and n+2. n=44. The three consecutive even integers are 42,44 and 46.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive positive integers be : x+1,x+3,x+5
Sum = 132
x+1+x+3+x+5 = 132
3x+9 = 132
3x = 132-9
3x = 123
x = 123/3
x = 41
Therefore,1st consecutive positive integer = x+1
= 41+1
= 42
2nd consecutive positive integer = x+3
= 41+3
= 44
3rd consecutive positive integer = x+5
= 41+5
= 46
