Question 513126: I need help to put this sentence into an equation. (Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the first and three times the second is 7 more than twice the third.) I have to break it down into four parts. I have my 1st integer=x, 2nd integer=3x-7, and 3rd integer=2x. I don't believe I have that part right because when I put it together I'm getting a fraction. I feel like I'm missing something somewhere.

If your 1st integer is x, the 2nd is x+1 and the 3rd is x+2.
