The sum of three integers is 27. The second integers is 2 less than twice the first integers, and the 3rd is 5 greater than 3 times the first. Find the integers.

Sagot :

x = 1st integer
y = 2nd integer = 2x - 2
z = 3rd integer = 3x + 5
x + y + z = 27

x + 2x - 2 + 3x + 5 = 27
6x + 3 = 27
6x = 24

x = 4
y = 2(4) - 2 = 6
z = 3(4) + 5 = 17

x = 4, y = 6, z = 17
