Answer:
Volume of one cube shaped block is, 0.125 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cube(V) is given by:
.....[1]
where a is the edge length of the cube.
As per the statement:
Cube-shaped blocks are packed into a cube-shaped storage container. The edge of the storage container is 2 1/2 feet.
⇒
It is also given that:
The edge length of each block is 1/5 the edge length of the storage container
⇒
Substitute this in [1] we have;

Therefore, volume, in cubic feet, of one cube-shaped block is, 0.125

Let the smallest integer = x
The middle integer = x + 1
The largest integer = x + 2
Remark
The first phrase up to is says the sum of ... The key word is sum. So far you have x + x + 1 + x + 2. Simplified this comes to 3x + 3.
Two times the 2nd number is 2*(x + 1) and from that, subtract 14
2(x + 1) - 14
If you break down each phrase as I have done you will soon become very good at doing these types of problems.
So the equation looks like this.
Solution
3x + 3 = 2(x + 1) - 14 Remove the brackets.
3x + 3 = 2x + 2 - 14 Combine the like terms on the right.
3x + 3 = 2x - 12 Subtract 3 from both sides.
3x = 2x - 12 - 3
3x = 2x - 15 Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x - 2x = - 15
x = -15 <<<< Answer for smallest number.
Answer
-15
- 14
-13 Are the three numbers you seek.
