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. x, x+1 , x+2 x+x+1+x+2 = -78 3x+3=-78 3x=-78-3= -81 x=-81÷3 = -9 the integers are -9, -8, -7 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.
