Question

Miley is trying to solve the following riddle the sum of three consecutive integers is 84 what are the integers

Answer 1

Answer:

Three consecutive numbers are 27,28,29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  The sum of three consecutive integers is 84.

To find : What are the integers?

Solution : Let three consecutive numbers $x, x+1, x+2$

So, according to given situation 'sum of three consecutive integers is 84'.

$x+x+1+x+2=84$

$\Rightarrow 3x+3=84$

$\Rightarrow 3x=84-3=81$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{81}{3}$

$\Rightarrow x=27$

So,$x=27$

$x+1= 27+1=28$

$x+2=27+2=29$

Therefore, three consecutive numbers are 27,28,29
