Let the integers be n, m and
k
==> n + m + k =
66
given the second = 2 more than the
first:
=> m = 2 +
n........(1)
given the third i= 4 more that twice the
first:
==> k = 4+ 2n
........(2)
Now substitute in the
equation:
n + m + k =
6
==> n + (2+ n) + (4+ 2n) =
66
Now combine like
terms:
==> 4n + 6 =
66
Now subtract 6 from both
sides:
==> 4n = 60
Noe
divide by 4:
==> n =
15
==> m= 15+ 2 =
17
==> k= 4 + 2*15 =
34
Then the three integers are: 15, 17, and
34
To
confirm:
15+ 17 + 34 =
66
