∙ 14y agoNumbers are x, x + 2 and x + 4. then x + 2(x + 2) + 3(x + 4) = 82 ie x + 2x + 4 + 3x + 12 = 82 ie 6x = 82 - 4 - 12 = 66 therefore x =11 and the other numbers are 13 and 15. Check: 11 + (2 x 13) + (3 x 15) = 11 + 26 + 45 = 82 QED

∙ 14y agoConsecutive integers could be thought of as counting numbers in a row. One of them is "lowest" and the next one will be one more than that, and the last one will be one more than the second one. The numbers 7, 8 and 9 and 46, 47 and 48 are each said to be three consecutive integers. You often come across a question that tells you that 3 consecutive integers add up to a value. Example 3 consecutive integers add to 6. What are the integers? Let the first integer be x the second is then x +1 the third x+2 add them x+x+1+x+2 =3x+3 and this would be equal to 6. we then have the equation 3x+3=6 3x=3 x=1 so the first integer is 1, the second would be 2 and the third 3
Since we know that the integers are even and consecutive, we can call them x, x+2, x+4, and x+6, with x being the smallest of the four. twice the sum of the second and third can be written as 2(x+2+x+4)=4x+12 the sum of the first and fourth increased by 14 is x+x+6+14=2x+20 Then we can solve 4x+12=2x+20-->2x=8-->x=4 4
Let the first odd integer be x, then the second one is x + 2. So we have: x + (x + 2) = 52 2x + 2 = 52 subtract 2 to both sides 2x = 50 divide by 2 to both sides x = 25 Thus, the first number is 25. Since consecutive odd integers grow by 2, then the second is 27, the third is 29, the fourth is 31, and the fifth integer is 33. So the sum of the last two integers is 64 ( 31 + 33).

The three integers, since they are consecutive, can be listed as a, a+1, and a+2. Twice the first is 2a. Three times the third is 3(a+2) = 3a+6. First make a formula of the information given: 2a+(3a+6)= -24 Next, solve the formula: 5a + 6 = -24 Subtract 6 from each side. 5a = -30 Divide each side by 5. a = -6 The three consecutive numbers are -6, -5, and -4.

If the first of these consecutive integers is x, the second integer would be x + 1, and the third integer would be x + 2.Since the sum of the second and the third integer is 17, we can writex + 1 + x + 2 = 172x + 3 = 172x + 3 - 3 = 17 - 32x = 142x/2 = 14/2x = 7Thus, the consecutive integers are 7, 8, and 9.
Their sum is 99.

This doesn't work for integers. Using 7, 8 and 9 comes up with 146 which is the closest you can get.

Let the first consecutive integer be x. So that:the second integer is x + 1,the third integer is x + 2, andthe fourth integer is x + 3.We have:(x + 1) + (x + 3) = 1322x + 4 = 1322x = 128x = 64 the first integerThus, the four consecutive integers are 64, 65, 66, and 67.
The let statement is: let the smallest of the three integers be x.
n + 2(n+1) + 3(n+2) = 86 n + 2n + 2 + 3n + 6 = 86 6n = 86 - 2 - 6 6n = 78 n = 13 Three consecutive integers are = 13,14,15
