the sum of three consecutive even integers is 72. let x represent the least consecutive integer. what equation could be used to find the least consecutive integer? what is the second consecutive integer? equation - second consecutive integer -

Respuesta :

The integers are x, x + 2 and x + 4

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 72
3x + 6 = 72
3x = 72 - 6 = 66
x = 66/3 = 22

Therefore, the numbers are 22, 24 and 26
