Question

The sum of three consecutive integers equals 39 more than the least of the integers. Find the integers

Answer 1

Answer:

18, 19, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

We can have the lowest number be $x$, and the second and third numbers be $x+1$ and $x+2$. Now we have the equation $x+x+1+x+2=x+39.$

$3x+3=x+39\\\\2x=36.$

x=18, so the numbers are 18, 19, and 20.
