Find three consecutive even integers such that 50 times the smallest is 88 less than 46 times the largest

Step-by-step explanation:

3 consecutive even integers ... x, x + 2, x + 4

50x = 46 (x + 4) - 88

50x = 46x + 184 - 88

50x - 46x = 184 - 88

4x = 96

x = 96/4

x = 24 <== = the smallest

x + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26 <== = the middle

x + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28 <= = the largest
