Question

Can u help me set up the sum of three consecutive integers is 1623. any help is appreciated. thanks

Answer 1

n, n + 1, n + 2 - three consecutive integers

1623 - the sum

The equation:

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 1623

n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 1623

3n + 3 = 1623     |subtract 3 from both sides

3n = 1620     |divide both sides by 3

n = 540

n + 2 = 540 + 2 = 542

n + 4 = 540 + 4 = 544

Answer: 540, 542, 544.
