Question

8. Three consecutive integers are such that when they are taken in increasing order an
multiplied by 2, 3 and 4 respectively, they add up to 74. Find these numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

7 8 9

Step-by-step explanation:

take the 3 integers to be x-1 , x , x+1

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 7, 8 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE NUMBERS BE x, x+1 and x+2

SO, ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION,

2x + 3(x+1) + 4(x+2) = 74

=> 2x + 3x + 3 + 4x + 8 = 74

=> 9x + 11 = 74

=> 9x = 74 - 11

=> 9x = 63

=> x = 63/9

=> x = 7

The numbers are x = 7

                           x+1 = 8

                           x+2 = 9
