Question

If sum of the three even positive consecutive integers is 96, then the smallest integer is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the integers be x, x+2, x+4

Now,

x+x+2+x+4= 96

3x+6= 96

3x= 96-6

3x= 90

x= 90/3= 30

hence,

the smallest number= 30

and,

x+2= 30+2= 32

x+4= 34

hope this helps! ❤

Answer 2

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let First even integer be 2x, Second Integer be 2x+2, Third Integer be 2x+4.

Thus, 2x+2x+2+2x+4 = 96

6x +6 =96

6x = 90

x = 15

Smallest integer = 2x = 15*2

                                    = 30
