Four times the smallest of three consecutive integers is three more than three times the largest. What is the middle integer?

Respuesta :

Let, first integer is x.

Therefore, other two are x+1 , x+2 .

Now, mathematical expression of given conditions is :

4x + 3 = 3(x+2)

4x + 3 = 3x + 6

x = 3.

So, the consecutive numbers are 3 , 4 and 5.

Therefore, the middle integer is 4.

Hence, this is the required solution.
