Question

There are 3 consecutive integers. 4 more than the smaller number plus twice the 3rd number is 7 less than the 2nd number

Answer 1

-7, -6, -5

Explanation:

Let x represent the second number. Then x-1 is the first number, and x+1 is the third number.

(x-1) +4 +2(x+1) = x -7

3x +5 = x -7

2x = -12

x = -6

The integers are -7, -6, -5.
