Question 1022609: find 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

consecutive positive integers: (x-1), x, (x+1)

x(x+1) = 2x + 2((x-1) + x + (x+1))
x^2 + x = 2x + 6x
x^2 - 7x = 0
x(x-7) = 0
x = 0, 7

The integers are positive, so the integers are 6, 7, and 8.
