Problema Solution

Find the second of three consecutive integers if the sum of twice the first and 4 times the second is equal to 20 more than twice the third.

Answer provided by our tutors

let the integer be x

second=x+1

third=x+2

=> 2x+4(x+1) = 20+2(x+2)

=> 6x + 4 = 2x + 24

=> 4x = 20

=>x=5

second integer = 6
