Find three consecutive even integers such that the sum of the second and third is 3 times the first integer.

, and

Step-by-step explanation:

Let smallest consecutive even integer.

Since the second and third consecutive even integers can be expressed by our smallest even consecutive integer, we can express them as:

Second consecutive even integer =

Third consecutive even integer =

From "the sum of the second and third is 3 times the first integer", we can write:

(collect like-terms)

∴ The first consecutive even integer is 6

Now, we can use substitution to find the values of the second and third consecutive even integers:

Second consecutive integer =

Third consecutive integer =

∴ The three consecutive even integers are , and .

Hope this helps :)

i think this could be a possible answer (1 / 84) -1

good luck! : d

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
