Question

1. Three consecutive positive integers are such that three times the middle integer exceeds the sum of other two by 15. Find the middle integer.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive numbers be (x-1), x, (x+1)

3x - { (x-1) + (x+1) } = 15

3x - { x-1 + x+1 } = 15

3x - 2x =15

x = 15
