Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be x

X,2x,3x

6x

6x=96

X=96/6

=16

X=16

2x=32

3x=48

Answer 2

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be x

Then other two will be x+1 , x+2.

According to question,

Sum of these integer= 96

x+x+1+x+2=96

3x+3=96

3(x+1)=96

x+1=96/3

x+1=32

x=32-1

x=31

So, the smallest integer is 31.
