Let x=the smallest integer, x+1=the second smallest, x+2=the greatest.
x+x+1+x+2=141
3x+3=141
3x=138
x=46
46 is the smallest integer

Our three consecutive integers can be represented as

X → first integer

X + 1 → second integer

X + 2 → third integer

If the sum of our three consecutive integers is 141, our equation will read...

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 141

Now, we can simplify on the left. Once we simplify, our equation will now read

3x + 3 = 141

      -3     -3  ← subtract 3 on both sides

      3x = 138 ← divide by 3 on both sides

       <u>X = 46</u> ← smallest integer

Therefore, the smallest integer is 46.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Mr Y got 10 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The election of the housing society has 30 voters. Each of them gives the vote. The three person vying for the post of secretary are X, Y and Z.

Le us calculate the votes of each contestant

Mr X

He got 2/5 of the total votes

number of votes = 2/5 × 30

number of votes = 60/5

number of votes = 12

Mr Z

He got 1/4 of the total votes

number of votes = 1/4 × 30

number of votes = 30/4

number of votes = 1/4 × 30

number of votes = 7.5 ≈ 8 votes

Mr Y

The remaining votes will be 30 - 12 - 8 = 10 votes

Therefore,

Mr Y got 10 votes
