Find three consecutive even integers such that the difference of the third and half of the first is 26.

Answer 1

Consecutive even integers are separated by 2, so the 3 numbers are

1st: n

2nd: n + 2

3rd: n + 4

The wording of the problem translates into

(n + 4) - n/2 = 26

Solve for n and finish from here. Apply this same kind of reasoning to solve 2 similar problems that you posted below this one.
