Question 851669: Find three consecutive integers such that if the middle one is tripled, the result is 12 less than the sum of the smallest and largest of these integers and set up an equation for solving this problem.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x be the first integer, then we have x, x+1, x+2 are the consecutive integers
3(x+1) = (x+x+2)-12
the above equation can be solved for x
