Let x be the smallest of the three integers; thus, the integers are x, x+1, x+2. From the problem, we get:
2x=(x+2)+5=x+7
2x-x=7
x=7
-- Call the three consecutive integers (x-1), x, and (x+1).-- Twice the smallest is 2(x-1) or (2x-2).-- 12 more than the largest is (x+1)+12 or (x+13).-- These are equal, so2x - 2 = x + 13Subtract 'x' from each side of the equation:x - 2 = 13Add 2 to each side:x = 15 .-- The smallest of the three numbers is (x-1) = 14.-- The three consecutive integers are 14, 15, and 16.-- Twice the smallest is 28.-- 28 is 12 more than 16.QED, man, QED !
Let the smallest integer be x. Since the consecutive even integers differ by 2, we havex + 2(x + 2) = (x + 4) + 203x + 4 = x + 24 (subtract x and 4 from both sides)3x - x - 4 + 4 = x - x - 4 + 242x = 20 (divide by 2 to both sides)x = 10Thus, the three consecutive even integers are 10, 12, and 14.

They are (14, 15, 16).
three consecutives numbers: a = smallest a+2 a+4 14 less = -14 than twice the smallest = 2a so... a+a+2+a+4=-14+2a 3a+6=-14+2a 3a-2a=-14-6 a=-20 answer: smallest = -20 greatest = -16

Suppose the smallest integer is A. The next two even numbers are A+2 and A+4. Using the information supplied we can form an equation: 2A - 14 = A + A+2 + A+4 Rearranging: 2A - 14 = 3A + 6 -20 = A So the three integers are -20, -18 and -16.

Let the smallest integer be x. Since the consecutive even integers differ by 2, we havex + 2(x + 2) = (x + 4) + 203x + 4 = x + 24 (subtract x and 4 from both sides)3x - x - 4 + 4 = x - x - 4 + 242x = 20 (divide by 2 to both sides)x = 10Thus, the three consecutive even integers are 10, 12, and 14.
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's represent the three consecutive odd integers as ( 2n-1 ), ( 2n+1 ), and ( 2n+3 ), where ( n ) is an integer. According to the given information, twice the smallest integer ( 2(2n-1) ) is equal to seven more than the largest integer ( 2n+3 ). Setting up the equation, we have ( 4n-2 = 2n+3+7 ). Solving this equation gives us ( n = 6 ). Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers are 11, 13, and 15.
