The answer is 20.
Hope this helps!! May I have brainliest?
Let the three numbers be x, y and z respectively, then
x + y + z = 62 . . . (1)
y = x - 4 . . . (2)
z = 4x . . . (3)
The above three expressions could be used to represent the numbers.
Solving the three equations, putting (2) and (3) into (1) gives
x + x - 4 + 4x = 62
6x - 4 = 62
6x = 62 + 4 = 66
x = 66/6 = 11
x = 11.
y = 11 - 4 = 7
z = 4(11) = 44
x = 11, y = 7, z = 44.
Answer:
because x is the middle integer of three consecutive integers
=> The remaining 2 numbers respectively are x - 1 and x + 1
=> the sum of these three integers is
x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 3x
27-(7x3)=6
27-21=6 Its 6 your welcome
