The sum of three consecutive even integers is –78. What are the integers? Describe how you would use the strategy of writing an equation to solve the given problem.

-28, -26, -24

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's call the smallest number: n

Then, the next two consecutive even numbers would be:

n+2 and n+4 (this is because it's only even numbers so we add 2)

We know the sum of these is −78 so we can write this equation and solve for n:

n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = -78

n + n + 2 + n + 4 = -78

n + n + n + 2 + 4 = -78

n + n + n + 6 = -78

1n + 1n + 1n + 6 = -78

3n + 6 = -78        Subtract 6 from each side, which cancels the 6 on the left.

3n + 6 - 6 = -78 - 6

3n = -78 - 6

3n = -84       Divide each side by 3

3n/3 = -84/3

n = -84/3

n = -28

n + 2 = -28 + 2 = -26

n + 4 = -28 + 4 = -24

The 3 consecutive odd integers would be:

-28, -26, -24

Let's check our work:

-28 + -26 + -24 = -78    We are correct!

water molecules will move from the side of higher water concentration to the side of lower concentration until both solutions are isotonic. at this point, equilibrium is reached. in an isotonic solution, the flow of water in and out of the cell is happening at the same rate.

hope this < 3

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to separate 54 into 6 individual tiers then you need to divide if you want to separate 54 into 6 individual tiers then you need to divide 6 and 54.

if you divide 9 by 6 you will get 54.
