Question

When three consecutive even integers are added , the sum is zero .what are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

even integers =x

Then next two consecutive even integers =(x+2) and (x+4)

According to the given statement ,

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=0

x+x+2+x+4=0

3x+6=0

3x=−6

x=

3

−6

We get ,

x=−2

Therefore , three consecutive integers are −2,(−2+2) and (−2+4) i.e., −2,0 and 2
