Three integers, x, y, z
:
The sum of three integers is 65 more than twice the first integer - find all three integers.
x + y + z = 2x + 65
:
y + z = 2x - x + 65
:
y + z = x + 65
:
As you can see, there is no way to find the values of of x, y, z here
:
If you meant three consecutive integers:
x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 2x + 65
3x + 3 = 2x + 65
3x - 2x = 65 - 3
x = 62
:
62, 63, 64 are the integers
