Problema Solution
three times the smallest of three consecutive even integers is four more than twice the largest
Answer provided by our tutors
The three consecutive integers can be written as: x-2, x and x+2.
Since x-2<x<x+2, the smallest is x-2 while the largest is x+2.
3*(x - 2) = 4 + 2(x + 2)

x = 14
x - 2 = 14 - 2 = 12
x + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16
The three consecutive even integers are 12, 14 and 16.
