Three integers x,y,z
;
Write what it says:
"four times the sum of three integers is 48"
4(x+y+z) = 48
:
Divide both sides by 4 and you have:
x + y + z = 48/4
:
x + y + z = 12
:
Now there many integers that can satisfy this statement;
Assuming they are 3 different integers here are some of them:
1 + 2 + 9
1 + 3 + 8
1 + 4 + 7
1 + 5 + 6
2 + 3 + 7
2 + 4 + 6
2 + 6 + 4
