Which of the following did you include in your description? Check all of the boxes that apply.
Let x = the smallest even integer, x + 2 = the
next even integer, and x + 4 = the largest
even integer.
Write the equation x + x + 2 + x +4=-78.
Simplify the equation as 3x + 6 = -78.
Solve the equation by subtracting 6 and
dividing by 3 on both sides of the equation.
Check that the sum of the integers -28,
-26, and -24 is -78.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

unless if u could do my questions, if not i wouldn't want to
