Answer:
5n=1+2(n+1+n+2)
Explanation:
Let the first number = n
Therefore, the three consecutive integers are n, n+1, and n+2.
• Five times the first number = 5n
One more than twice the sum of the second and third numbers.
• The sum of the second and third numbers = n+1+n+2
,
• Twice the sum of the second and third numbers = 2(n+1+n+2)
• One more than twice the sum of the second and third numbers = 1+2(n+1+n+2)
Therefore, the equation that accurately solves for the integers is:

The last option is correct.
