Question

Three consecutive integers are such that when taken in ascending order and multipled by 2,4, and 6 respectively their sum is 160. Find the integers. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

12,13,14

Step-by-step explanation:

let integers are

x-1, x, x+1

these are multiplied respectively by 2,4,6

so intergers will be

2x-2, 4x, 6x+6

according to problem

the sum of integers after multiplying with their respective numbers will be 160

then

2x-2+4x+6x+6=160

12x+4=160

12x=160-4

12x=156

x=156/12

x=13

so first integer will be:

x-1=13-1=12

second integer will be:

x=13

third integer will be:

x+1=13+1=14
