Answer:
a)167,168,169
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:
X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 504
3X + 3 = 504
3X + 3 - 3 = 504 - 3
3X = 501
3X/3 = 501/3
X = 167
Which means that the first number is 167, the second number is 167 + 1 and the third number is 167 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 504 are 167, 168, and 169.
167 + 168 + 169 = 504
