The sum of three consecutive even integers is 126. let x represent the least consecutive integer.

what equation could be used to find the least consecutive integer?

what is the greatest consecutive integer?

equation:

greatest consecutive integer:

Just as an example, three consecutive integers might be 4,5,6.

If x is the least of these (4 in our example), then the other two integers would be x+1, and x+2.

Then the sum of our three integers is x + (x+1) + (x+2). 

Addition is commutative so we can switch any two terms, and it is also associative so we can regroup any terms. This lets is rearrange things with all the "x" together and all the numbers together like this:

(x+x+x) + (1+2) OR 3x + 3

According to the problem, the sum is 126, so 3x+3 = 126.
3x = 123
x = 41 (which is the smallest consecutive integer)

Check our 41 + 42 + 43 = 126.

It is true that organism need food. but cells do not need food. the energy required by the cell for various chemical activities is released by mitochondria in the form of atp (adenosine triphosphate). atp is know as energy currency of the cell.hope it
