Three consecutive integers
=x, x+1, x+2
According to question
(x*2)+[(x+1)*3]+[(x+2)*4]=74
Explanation-
first integer = x which is multiplied into 2
= x*2
second integer = x+1 which is multiplied by 3
= (x+1)*3
Third integer = x+2 multiplied by 4
= (x+2)*4
Add 'em up. We get-
(x*2)+[(x+1)*3]+[(x+2)*4]=74
Simplify it up
2x+3x+3+4x+8=74
9x+11=74
9x= 63
x=63/9
x=7
Thus,
first integer= x= 7
Second = x+1 = 8
Third = x+2 =9
