Set 5: Linear Equations

Choice C is correct. Choice C is the correct answer. 1. Equation: $x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 48$ 2. Simplify: $3x + 6 = 48 \rightarrow 3 x = 42 \rightarrow x = 14$. 3. Integers: 14, 16, 18. 4. Product: $14\times 18 = 252$. Choice C is incorrect because it results from an error in the solution process. Choice A is incorrect because it results from an error in the solution process. Choice D is incorrect because it results from an error in the solution process.
