Question

the sum of three consecutive integers is 132. what are the three integers? write an equation to model the problem. then solve

Answer 1

Answer:

The three consecutive integers are 42,44 and 46

Step-by-step explanation:

n-2 n and n+2. n=44

or

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 132

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 132

3X + 3 = 132

3X + 3 - 3 = 132 - 3

3X = 129

3X/3 = 129/3

X = 43

43 + 44 + 45 = 132
