Question

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

Answer 1

Hey sup!

Let the consecutive integers be x,x+1 and x+2.

As per the question,

2*x+3(x+1)+4(x+2)=74.
=>2x+3x+3+4x+8=74.
=>9x+11=74.
=>9x=74-11=63.
=>x=63/9=7.

So the numbers are,
x=7.
x+1=7+1=8.
x+2=7+2=9.

Hope it helps.
