​

Answer 1

Answer:

The the consecutive integers are 14,15, and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no.s be x,x+1 and x+2

Therefore,according to the given condition,

x+x+1+x+2=45

3x+3=45

3x=42

x=14

Therefore,

First integer = x =14

Second Integer = x+1 =15

Third Integer = x+2 = 16

The the consecutive integers are 14,15, and 16

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let 1st integer = x

then 2nd integer = x+1

then 3rd integer = x+2

A.T.Q

x + x+1 + x+2 = 45

3x + 3 = 45

3x = 45-3

3x = 42

x = 42/3

x = 14

1st integer = x

= 14

2nd integer = x+1 = 14 +1

= 15

3rd integer = x+2 = 14+2

= 16
