PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Hey there!!

Let's take the first number an the smallest number as ' x '

Then, the second consecutive even integer would become ' x + 2 '

Third integer ' x + 4 '

Hence, adding them up, we get,

x + x + 2 + x + 4

... 3x + 6

This is equal to 4 times the smallest number.

We got the smallest number as ' x '

Hence, the final equation :

... 3x + 6 = 4x

Hope my answer helps!!
