Hi,

the smallest of three consecutives integershighlight%28x%29,highlight%28x%2B1%29, highlight%28x%2B2%29

is added to twice the largest, the result so obtained is 15 less than four timess the middle integer.

Question states***

  x + 2(x+2) = 4(x+1) - 15

    3x + 4 = 4x + 4 - 15

         15 = x

The three consecutives integers are 15, 16, 17

and

 15+%2B+2%2A17+=+49+=++4%2A16+-+15
