  1. Three consecutive integers: x, x+1, x+2, such that:
    x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 120
    3 x + 3 = 120
    3 x = 117
    x = 117:3= 39
    The integers are: 39,40,41.
    2.
     x + x + 2 = x +1 +21
     2 x - x = 22 - 2
     x = 20
    The integers are: 20,21,22.
    3. Four consecutive even integers: x, x+2, x+4, x+6
    4 ( x + x + 2 ) = 7 (x + 6 ) - 8
    8 x + 8 = 7 x + 42 - 8
    8 x - 7 x = 34 - 8
    x = 26
    The integers are: 26, 28, 30 , 32.
