find three consecutive integers.The largest integer added to twelve equuals twice smaller integer
.
Let x = smallest consecutive integer
x+1 = middle integer
x+2 = largest consecutive integer
.
Then from "The largest integer added to twelve equals twice smaller integer"
(x+2)+12 = 2x
x+14 = 2x
14 = x
x+1 = 14+1 = 15
x+2 = 14+2 = 16
.
Solution: 14, 15, and 16
