The sum of three consecutive even integers is 36. Let x represent the first integer, x + 2 represent the second integer, and x + 4 represent the third integer.
Well, then x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) would equal 36
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 36
3x + 6 = 36
3x = 30
x =10
So the three consecutive even integers are 10, 12, and 14.
omgosh thank you so much! my brain was doin flip flops on this one for some reason!
