Two times the smallest of three consecutives even integers is four more than three times the largest. Find the integers.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The integers are -16, -14 and -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 consecutive even integers,  so we let the 3 numbers be  n , n+2 and n + 4.

We are given:-

2n = 3(n + 4) + 4

2n = 3n + 12 + 4

-n = 16

n = -16   (answer)
