Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smallest integer be x
First consecutive integer is x+ 1
Second consecutive integer is x + 2
Multiplied by 2(x), 3(x+1), 4(x+2)
According to the question 2(x) +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

Answer:
7, 8, 9
Step-By-Step Explanation:
Let the three consecutive integers are x, x+1 and x+2.
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
Thus, the numbers are:
x = 7
x + 1 = 8
x + 2 = 9
