1. The smallest of three consecutive even integers is 40 less than three times the largest. What is the largest of these integers?
- A. 18
- B. 18
- C. 18
- D. 18
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the integers be x, x + 2 and x + 4
Now, 3 ( x + 4) - 40 = x
2x = 40 - 12 = 28
x = 14
x + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18
