Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 168. What are the integers

Answer 1

Answer:

3X + 3 = 168

3X + 3 - 3 = 168 - 3

3X = 165

3X/3 = 165/3

X = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 168. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows: (X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 168
