Week 10 Reflection
What three consecutive even integers have a sum of 36? EXPLAIN
Three consecutive even integers that have a sum of 36 are 10, 12, and 14. They are the three consecutive even integers because the mean and the medium of these three numbers are equal and they fit in the equation n+n+2+n+4=36 as Mylasha said. 3n+6=36 is the simplified form of n+n+2+n+4.
I agree with 10, 12, and 14. Well, the first thing i did was divide it by three...... i got 12 and played with my numbers. I got 36 by adding 10, 12, and 14. If you divide the sum by 3, the quotient will be the middle number in the set of consecutive even numbers: example; finding consecutive even numbers for the sum 138. divide by 3 and you get 46. the even numbers closest on the "number line" are 44 and 48, just add 44, 46, and 48 to check. sure enough you get 138 as the sum.
10,12,14 are the three consecutive positive intergers.n+n+2+n+4=36 is the equation I used and 3n+6=36 is the answer.
ReplyDelete4,12,12 because 4+12+20 is 36. (probably wrong because of how simple it is...)

ReplyDeleteThree consecutive integers would be 10,12,and 14.That is true because if you add all that up it would equal 36.Also they are all separated by 2.
ReplyDeleteI agree with nikola be cause 1012 and 14are all even numbers and they are2 apart and12+10+14=36!
DeleteI agree with janae because 1012 and 14 all real number that are to numbers apart and if u add them all up 12+10+14 it will equal 36
DeleteI agree with nikola as well because 10 12 and 14 all are 2 numbers apart and even plus when added together equal 36
DeleteI agree with Nikola and everyone because if you add 10,12, and 14 it will equal 36. They are also separated by 2. So my answer is 10,12, and 14.
DeleteI agree with nikola because when u add up 10 12 14 u get 36 and they are all even also they are separated by two
DeleteI agree with everyone because 10 12 and 14 added together have a sum of 36. plus the numbers are all apart by 2 which makes them multiples of two.
