Answer :

MrRoyal

The largest integer in the set of number is 91

How to use the given equation to determine the largest integer?

The given parameters are

  • 1st integer = x
  • 2nd integer = x+2
  • 3rd integer = x+4
  • Equation: x+(x+2)+(x+4)=267

So, we have

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=267

Open the brackets

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 267

Evaluate the like terms

3x = 261

Divide both sides by 3

x = 87

Substitute x = 87 in 3rd integer = x+4

3rd integer = 87 + 4

Evaluate

3rd integer = 91

Hence, the largest integer is 91
