Question

The sum of three consecutive even integers if the largest number is y

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y+(y-2)+(y-4)=0

y+y-2+y+y-4=0

4y-6=0

4y=6

y=6/4

y=3/2

Answer 2

Answer:

The sum of three consecutive even integers = 3y-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive integers:

• Consecutive integers means the integers which comes one after the other in a sequence.
• The sequence may be increasing or decreasing.

• Let the largest even integer be y,

         then the consecutive even integers less than y are y-2 and y-4

• So, the three consecutive even integers with 'y' as largest number is

                 y+y-2+y-4 = 3y-6

   Hence, the sum of three consecutive even integers = 3y-6
