find three consecutive integers such that 3 times the least is 4 more than twice the greatest
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"three consecutive integers:
\n" ); document.write( "x, (x+1), (x+2)
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation for the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3 times the least is 4 more than twice the greatest\"
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 4 + 2(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 2x + 4 + 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 2x + 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 2x = 8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8, 9, 10 are the 3 integers
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "\" 3 times the least is 4 more than twice the greatest\"
\n" ); document.write( "3(8) = 4 + 2(10); confirms our solution
