Question 359312: In a kennal,a cocker spaniel,a bulldog,and a greyhound all give birth to litters. The number of pups in the litter are consecutive integers (in the order:cocker spaniel,bulldog,greyhound.) The first integer increased by twice the second exceeds the third by 10. How many puppies does each dog have?

X, X+1 & X+2 ARE THE THREE INTEGERS.
X+2(X+1)=(X+2)+10
X+2X+2=X+12
3X-X=12-2
2X=10
X=5 ANS. FOR THE PUPS FOR TYHE SPANIEL.
5+1=6 ANS. FOR THE PUPS FOR THE BULLDOG
5+2=7 ANS. FOR THE PUPS FOR THE GREYHOUND.
PROOF:
5+2*6=7+10
5+12=17
17=17
