s(s + 1) = 2s + 2(s - 1 + s + s + 1)
s2 + s = 2s + 2s - 2 + 2s + 2s + 2
s2 - 7s = 0
s(s - 7) = 0
s = 0

asked 03/08/19find three consecutive positive integers such that the product of the larger two is equal to twice the second integer plus twice the sum of all three integers
s(s + 1) = 2s + 2(s - 1 + s + s + 1)
s2 + s = 2s + 2s - 2 + 2s + 2s + 2
s2 - 7s = 0
s(s - 7) = 0
s = 0

Not all positive.
s - 7 = 0
s = 7
