Question

3 consecutive integers have a sum of 27. What are the integers?

Answer 1

Three consecutive integers that add up to 27 are 8, 9, and 10

Hope this helps =)

Answer 2

First represent your 3 consecutive integers as x, x + 1, and x + 2.

Since their sum is 27, our equation reads x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 27.

Now simplifying on the left side we get 3x + 3 = 27.

You should be able to easily solve for x and find that x = 8.

Make sure you list all your answers.

If x is 8, then x + 1 is 9 and x + 2 is 10.
