Question 179672: Four Times the sum of three consecutive integers is 48.
a. write an equation that could be used to find the integers
b. what are the integers
I believe the answer is Integers: 3,4, and 5 because 3+4+5 = 12 * 4 = 48. but I do not know how to write the equation.

Four Times the sum of three consecutive integers is 48.
a. write an equation that could be used to find the integers
b. what are the integers
I believe the answer is Integers: 3,4, and 5 because 3+4+5 = 12 * 4 = 48. but I do not know how to write the equation.
:
4(x + (x+1) + (x+2)) = 48
4(3x + 3) = 48
12x + 12 = 48
12x = 48 - 12
12x = 36
x = 3
