Question 5 • GA-8th Grade Mathematics

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 66. Which equation represents the scenario?

Answer
A
x = 66
B
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 66
C
x + x + x = 66
D
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 66

Explanation

Let x be the first even integer. Consecutive even integers increase by 2, so the three integers are x, x + 2, and x + 4; their sum is represented by x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 66. Choice D gives this equation.
