Find three consecutive even integers such that four times the second is equal to triple the third.

Question

You must find three consecutive even integers. The rest of the information is on the top. Thank you!

Answer 1

n = first number

n + 2 = second number

n + 4 = third number

 

4(n + 2) = 3(n + 4)

4n + 8 = 3n + 12

n + 8 = 12

n = 4

 

The numbers are 4, 6, and 8.
