find three consecutive even integers such that the sum of the smallest integer and twice the second is 12 more than the third (only an algebraic solution will be accepted )

Sagot :

Let us call them a, b and c
we know that
a+1=b
a+2=c
a+2b=12+c
we can deduce the following:
a+2(a+1)=12+(a+2)
3a+2=a+14
2a=12
a=6

so b would be 7 and c would be 8
Makes sense ?
