Question 40145: Find the three consecutive even integers for which 3 times the largest is twice the sum of the two smaller integers. What is the answer to that question? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the numbers be x, x+2, and x+4.
Then 3(x+4) = 2(x + x+2)
3x + 12 = 4x + 4
x = 8
x+2 = 10
x+4 = 12
