Three consecutive even integers add to −6. what are these integers?

Define the numbers

Let the first even number be x

1st even number = x

2nd even number = x + 2

3rd even number = x + 4

Form the equation and solve

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -6

3x + 6 = -6

3x = - 12

x = -4

Find the numbers

1st even number = x = -4

2nd even number = x + 2 = -4 + 2 = -2

3rd even number = x + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0

Answers: The numbers are -4, -2 and 0

answer: domain and range mean all possible values of x and y that could be substituted to the inequality. a solution means all possible values that make the inequality statement true. so while the range is still all real numbers, the solution is the shaded area, for which y will always be greater than the line of the function.
