X+x+1+x+2=57
3x+3=57
3x=54
x= 54/3
x= 18

x+1= 19
x+2= 20

Therefore 20 is the largest

The volume

Sedaia [141]

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x
&& y={{ k }}x
\end{array}\\ \quad \\
$

and also

$\bf \begin{array}{llllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies inversely to}&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{some value}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{\textit{something else}}\\ \quad \\
y&=&\cfrac{{{\textit{k}}}}{}&\cfrac{}{x}
&&y=\cfrac{{{ k}}}{x}
\end{array}
$

now, we know that V varies directly to T and inversely to P simultaneously
thus $\bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}$

so $\bf V=T\cdot \cfrac{k}{P}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
V=42\\
T=84\\
P=8
\end{cases}\implies 42=\cfrac{84k}{8}\implies 4=k
\\\\\\
V=\cfrac{4T}{P}\qquad now\quad 
\begin{cases}
V=74\\
P=10
\end{cases}\implies 74=\cfrac{4T}{10}\implies 185=T$
