Question

Three consecutive integers have a sum of 51 find the integers

Answer 1

Hey there!

Let's take the first number as ' x '

What is consecutive?

The preceding numbers

Hence, the second number = x + 1

The third number = x + 2

The sum of all the three numbers = 51

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51

3x + 3 = 51

subtracting by 3 on both sides

3x = 48

dividing by 3 on both sides

3x / 3 = 48 / 3

x = 16

The first number = 16

Second number = x + 1 = 17

Third number = 17 + 1 = 18

The three numbers = 16 , 17 , 18

Hope my answer helps!
