find three integers such that the sum of the 1st, two times the second, and three times the third is 82
--------
I'm going to assume you want consecutive integers.
---
1st: x-1
2nd: x
3rd: x+1
------------
Equation:
x-1 + 2x + 3(x+1) = 82
6x - 2 = 82
6x = 84
x = 14
----
1st: x-1 = 13
2nd: x = 14
3rd: x+1 = 15
----
Cheers,
