Answer:

8, 10, 12

Explanation:

Denote the smallest integer by x.

The second integer is then x+2.

The third integer is then x+4.

Three times the smallest interger is 3x

Twice the largest integer is 2(x+4)

Three times the smallest integer is twice the largest integer

3x=2(x+4)=2x+8

Subtract 2x from each side

x=8

The integers are 8, 10, 12
