An even integer can be represented by the expression 2n, where n is any integer. find three consecutive even integers that have a sum of 54. the three consecutive even integers, in order from least to greatest, are , , and . explain your reasoning. expressions for the next two consecutive even integers after 2n are and . solving the equation =54, and substituting the solution into the expressions for the three integers results in the three integers given above.

As consecutive odd numbers differ by two (example: 3, 5, 7), the first odd number can be expressed as 2n + 1, the next can be found by adding two to the first to get 2n + 1 + 2 which simplifies to 2n + 3. Finally the expression for the third consecutive odd integer can be found by adding two to the previous, 2n + 3, to get 2n + 5. Adding these three together and setting them equal to your sum gets the equation

2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 63

Combine like terms and solve For n.

Once you have n, you must substitute it back into your three expressions (2n + 1, 2n + 3, 2n + 5) to find the three odd integers.

Hope this helps :)

answer:   35 % is the probability of a late departure or an early arrival.

step-by-step explanation:

let l represents the late departure and e represents the early departure.

then, according to the question,

p(l) = 12 %,   p(e) = 27 % and = 4 %

and, we have to find out,

but, we know that,

which is the required equation that will use to find the probability of a late departure or an early departure.

therefore,   the probability of a late departure or an early arrival =   35 %
