Three consecutive integers are such that three times the smallest is 14 more than the largest.Find the integers.

Respuesta :

Answer:

          8, 9, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x ← the smallest integer

x+1 ← the middle integer

x+2 ← the largest integer

3x   ← three times the smallest

x+2 + 14   ← 14 more than the largest

  3x = x+2 + 14

   -x     -x

  2x = 16

 ÷2     ÷2

   x = 8

x+1 = 8+1 = 9

x+2 = 8+2 = 10

Check:  3×8 = 24;  24-14 = 10
