(2x - 4) or [ 2(x - 2) ].
If the largest integer is subtracted from four times the smallest, the result is 4 more than twice the middle integer. Let the smallest integer be x, then the others are x + 2 and x+ 4. Therefore 4x - (x + 4) = 2 (x + 2 ) + 4 Expanding, we get 4x -x -4 = 2x + 4 + 4 Gathering terms: x = 12 Thus the three integers are 12, 14 and 16.
Thus: 2*(4+x) = x-3, or x = -11.
