Question 661919: find three consecutive integers such that three times the middle integer is equal to the sum of five times the first and three times the third integer decreased by 13 Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x x+1 x+2
3(x+1)=5(x) + 3(x+2) - 13
3x + 3 = 5x + 3x + 6 - 13
-6 + 13 + 3 = 5x + 3x - 3x
10 = 5x
x=2
Integers are 2, 3 and 4
