Question

Three consecutive integers have a sum of 168. What is the value of the largest integer

Answer 1

Largest integer: 57

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 168 
3x + 3 = 168
-3             -3
3x       = 165
/3             /3 
x         = 55 

x = smallest integer = 55
x + 1 = middle integer = 55 + 1 = 56
x + 2 = largest integer = 55 + 2 = 57
