<PRE><B>Question 242519</B>
Three consecutive integers, x, (x+1), (x+2); 
:
the largest 3 consecutive integers for which the first is increased by twice the second exceeds the third by less than 25.
:
Exeeds by less than 25 so try 24,
:

x + 2(x+1) = (x+2) + 24
x + 2x + 2 = x + 26
x + 2x - x = 26 - 2
2x = 24
x = 12
:
12, 13, 14 are the integers
:
See if that is true in the given statement
first is increased by twice the second exceeds the third by less than 25.
12 + 2(13) = 14 + 24
12 + 26 = 38
