To solve the problems, we will analyze each word problem step by step and match it with the correct answer from the provided options.
---
Three consecutive integers are such that three times the smallest is 26 more than the largest. Find the integers.
Let the three consecutive integers be \( x \), \( x+1 \), and \( x+2 \).
According to the problem:
\[ 3x = (x+2) + 26 \]
Simplify and solve for \( x \):
\[
3x = x + 2 + 26
\]
\[
3x = x + 28
\]
\[
3x - x = 28
\]
\[
2x = 28
\]
\[
x = 14
\]
So, the integers are:
\[ x = 14, \quad x+1 = 15, \quad x+2 = 16 \]
Answer: \( 14, 15, 16 \) (Option j)
---
Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 88.
Let the two consecutive odd integers be \( x \) and \( x+2 \).
According to the problem:
\[ x + (x+2) = 88 \]
Simplify and solve for \( x \):
\[
x + x + 2 = 88
\]
\[
2x + 2 = 88
\]
\[
2x = 86
\]
\[
x = 43
\]
So, the integers are:
\[ x = 43, \quad x+2 = 45 \]
Answer: \( 43, 45 \) (Option g)
---
Find three consecutive integers whose sum is 96.
Let the three consecutive integers be \( x \), \( x+1 \), and \( x+2 \).
According to the problem:
\[ x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 96 \]
Simplify and solve for \( x \):
\[
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 96
\]
\[
3x + 3 = 96
\]
\[
3x = 93
\]
\[
x = 31
\]
So, the integers are:
\[ x = 31, \quad x+1 = 32, \quad x+2 = 33 \]
Answer: \( 31, 32, 33 \) (Option i)
---
Find four consecutive integers whose sum is 110.
Let the four consecutive integers be \( x \), \( x+1 \), \( x+2 \), and \( x+3 \).

\[ x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) = 110 \]
Simplify and solve for \( x \):
\[
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 110
\]
\[
4x + 6 = 110
\]
\[
4x = 104
\]
\[
x = 26
\]
So, the integers are:
\[ x = 26, \quad x+1 = 27, \quad x+2 = 28, \quad x+3 = 29 \]
Answer: \( 26, 27, 28, 29 \) (Option h)

Simplify and solve for \( x \):
\[
3x = x + 2 + 32
\]
\[
3x = x + 34
\]
\[
3x - x = 34
\]
\[
2x = 34
\]
\[
