there are 3 consecutive even integers. three times the least is twice the greatest. what are the integers

Answer 1

3S = 2L

L=S+4

3S =2(S+4)

3S = 2S+8

3S-2S = 8

S = 8= Smallest integer

M=S+2 = 10= Medium integer

L =M+2 = 12= Largest integer

the three consecutive even integers are 8, 10 and 12

3(8)=2(12)

3 times Smallest = 2 times Largest
