Question

Find three consecutive integers such that if the third is subtracted from six times the sum of the first and second, the result is 452 more than twice the second.

Answer 1

The numbers are 50, 51, and 52.

Explanation:

The consecutive integers are (x-1), x, and (x+1).

6*(x-1+x)-(x+1)=452+2x

6x-6+6x-x-1=452+2x

9x = 459

x=51

The numbers are 50, 51, and 52.
