Question

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 84. Which is the least integer among them?

A) 28 B) 30 C) 32 D) 26

Answer 1

Answer:

x=26,x+2=28,x+4=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive even integers =

x+2,x+4,x+6

x+x+2+x+4=84 (as per the problem)

3x+6= 84 (all the like terms are added together)

subtract by 6 on both sides

3x+6-6=84-6

3x=78

dividing by 3 on both sides

3x/3=78/3

x=26

the numbers are as follows

x=26

x+2=26+2=28

x+4=26+4=30
