Question 434116: The sum of three integers is -97. The second integer is twice the third, and the first integer is 3 more than the second integer. What is the smallest integer? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let third integer be x
second integer = 2x
first integer = 2x+3
...
x+2x+2x+3= 5x+3=-97
5x=-100
x= -20... third integer
second integer = -40
First Integer = -37
add them up you get -97
