Find three consecutive integers such that the first, decreased by one-half, equals the second decreased by 15.

Can anyone help me find the consecutive integers?

Please? I'm having trouble figuring this one out.

You are probably having trouble because the question makes no sense.

Let's represent the three consecutive integers as x, x+1, and x+2.

According to the given information, the first integer (x) decreased by one-half equals the second integer (x+1) decreased by 15.

Mathematically, this can be written as:

x - 1/2 = (x + 1) - 15

Now let's solve this equation to find the value of x:

x - 1/2 = x + 1 - 15

Remove the parentheses:

x - 1/2 = x - 14

Subtract x from both sides:

-1/2 = -14

Since the equation does not hold true (-1/2 ≠ -14), it means that there are no consecutive integers that satisfy the given conditions.
