An attractive, mathematical and illustrative image showing three consecutive even numbers on blocks. The largest number block is visually multiplied by 5 inside a multiplication bubble. There is a minus 6 bubble nearby. Simultaneously, the first two number blocks are seen inside a sum bubble, that is then visually multiplied by 3. These two sides of the equation are shown on a scale to illustrate the balance. Please ensure the image has no text.

1. if the largest of three consecutive even integers is multiplied by 5, the product is 6 less than three times the sum of the first two integer. fin the integers.

(x+4)5 = 3(x + x+2)-6

Now just find x, the smallest number.

5(x+4)=3(2x+2)-6

5x+20=6x+6-6
5x+20=6x
5x-6x=-20
-x=-20
x=20

5(x+4)=3(2x+2)-6

5x+20=6x+6-6
5x+20=6x
5x-6x=-20
-x=-20
x=20

x+2=22
x+4=24

20,22,24

Why did the even integers go to the circus? Because they wanted to find their missing clown, "X"! Let's join them on their adventure:

Let's assume the first even integer is "X", the second one is "X + 2", and the third one is "X + 4".

According to the problem, the largest integer (X + 4) multiplied by 5 is 6 less than three times the sum of the first two integers (X + X + 2):

5(X + 4) = 3(X + X + 2) - 6

Now, let's solve this equation together and find those mysterious integers:

5X + 20 = 3(2X + 2) - 6

5X + 20 = 6X + 6 - 6

5X + 20 = 6X

20 = 6X - 5X

20 = X

So, the first even integer is 20.

The second integer: X + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22

And the third integer: X + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24

Therefore, the three consecutive even integers are 20, 22, and 24. Ta-da!

To solve this problem, let's assign variables to represent the consecutive even integers.

Let's say the first even integer is x, the second is (x + 2), and the third is (x + 4).

According to the problem, "the largest of three consecutive even integers is multiplied by 5." So, we can create the equation:

5 * (x + 4)

The problem also states, "the product is 6 less than three times the sum of the first two integers." We can represent this as:

3 * (x + (x + 2)) - 6

Now we can set up the equation:

5 * (x + 4) = 3 * (x + (x + 2)) - 6

Simplifying this equation will give us the value of x.

5x + 20 = 3x + 3x + 6 - 6

5x + 20 = 6x + 6

Now, let's solve for x:

5x - 6x = 6 - 20

-x = -14

x = 14

Now that we have the value of x, we can find the other two consecutive even integers:

The first even integer is 14.
The second even integer is (14 + 2) = 16.
The third even integer is (14 + 4) = 18.

Therefore, the three consecutive even integers are 14, 16, and 18.
