Question 895246: find three consecutive integers such that the sum of twice the second and three times the third is five less than six times the first. I can solve but am having trouble setting up the equations Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! find three consecutive integers such that the sum of twice the second and three times the third is five less than six times the first. I can solve but am having trouble setting up the equations
***
let x=1st consecutive integer
let x+1=2nd consecutive integer
let x+2=3rd consecutive integer
..
2(x+1)+3(x+2)=6x-5
I will let you solve.
