Find 3 consecutive integers such that the sum of all 3 integers is equal to 4 times the smallest integer minus 9. Please help I need it asap I will appreciate it a lotttt

Answer 1

x+x+1+x+2 = 4x-9

3x +3 = 4x-9

x =12

x+1 =13

x+2 =14

the 3 integers are 12, 13 and 14

that's probably what you want, but there is a sight ambiguity the way you wrote "4 times" the smallest number minus 9

You might have meant by that 4(x-9) if so,

3x + 3 = 4x -36 and

x = 39

x+1 = 40

x+2 = 41

the 3 numbers might be 39, 40 and 41
