Question

Find three consecutive integers such that four times the first plus one-half the second minus twice the third is equal to 24. Solve using SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR EQUATIONS.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 3 consecutive number be k,k+1,k+2

According to question:

4k=3(k+2)

⇒4k=3k+6

⇒4k−3k=6

⇒k=6

The greatest integer is k+2=8.
