Question 1171897: B. Solve the ff. problems.
Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the first, twice the second, and three times the third is -76.
Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

x + 2(x+1) + 3(x+2) = -76
x + (2x+2) + (3x+6) = -76
6x + 8 = -76
6x = -84
x = -14 --> the three integers are -14, -13, and -12
