Answer:

The least of the three integers is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let <em>x</em> be equal to the least of these integers.

Let <em>x</em>+1 and <em>x</em>+2 be the next consecutive integers.

We're given that these integers have a sum os 6.

We can use these to construct an equation:

(x)+(x+1)+(x+2)=6

Combine like terms:

x+x+1+x+2=6\\x+x+x+1+2=6\\3x+3=6\\3x=3\\x=1

Therefore, the least of these integers is 1.

The other two integers would be 2 and 3.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

→In Step 4, it is shown that the equation is:

3x = 30

→However, to solve for x, you must get it by itself. This means you need to get rid of the 3 that's being multiplied. So since the 3 is being multiplied to x, you must do the opposite of multiplication, which is division.

→As you can see, the total of 30 is decreased in Step 5, since it has been divided by 3, giving you a total of 10.

This shows that the property of equality that yields Step 5 is the <u>Division Property of Equality.</u>
