Finding Three consecutive even integers that equal a negative number - Online Tutor

The video tutorial explains how to find three consecutive even integers whose sum is -114. It begins by defining consecutive integers and even numbers, then sets up an equation using a variable to represent the first number. The tutorial demonstrates solving the equation to find the first integer and subsequently calculates the other two consecutive even integers, resulting in the numbers -40, -38, and -36.

What are consecutive numbers?

• Numbers that are multiples of each other

• Numbers that are odd

• Numbers that follow each other in order

• Numbers that are prime

How do you represent the first even number in the problem?

• As the sum of the numbers

• As a variable, X

• As a constant value

• As a product of two numbers

If X is the first even number, what is the expression for the second consecutive even number?

• X + 1

• X + 2

• X + 3

• X + 4

What is the sum of the three consecutive even numbers in the problem?

• -120

• -114

• -110

• -100

What are the three consecutive even numbers that add up to -114?

• -36, -34, -32

• -38, -36, -34

• -40, -38, -36

• -42, -40, -38
