Three consecutive integers are such that three times the smallest is 22 more than the largest. What are the integers?

Question

Find the integers. Three times the smallest is 22 more than the largest.

Answer 1

Hi Amber,

 

Let the integers be x, x+1, and x+2

 

3x = 22+ (x+2)

3x = x + 24

2x = 24

x = 12, the smallest integer

13 the middle one

14 the largest one
