You can put this solution on YOUR website! integers are x, x+1, and x+2
sum of the third and twice the first is (x+2)+2x>=4(x+1), at least means equal to or greater than.
3x+2>=4x+4
-x>=2
x<=-2
-2,-1,0 should work
sum of 0 and 2(-2) is greater than or equal to 4(-1) yes.
1,2,3 should not work
3+2 not greater than 4(2)
