Find two consecutive even integers such that three times the lesser integer added to the larger integer is 58

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.

the answer is 99.
