Question

How to do the equation for the sum of three consecutive integers is 467

Answer 1

Call n, the first of those consecutive terms, then three consecutive terms are:n, n +1, and n +2.

So, the equation will be n + (n +1) + (n +2) = 467

=> n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 467

=> 3n + 3 = 467

All of them are valid forms of the equation for the sum of three consecutive integers is 467.

You can solve it now, if you want:

3n = 467 - 3

3n = 464

n = 464 / 3

n = 154.6

The solution means that there are not three consecutive numbers whose sume is 467.

You can verifiy that if you take 154 + 155 + 156 = 465

And 155 + 156 + 157 = 468
