Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x=164

Step-by-step explanation:

we assign  x to the first integer .they are consecutive that means the 2nd integer will be x+1and the 3rd integer will be x+2 and they should add up to 495  

so the equation will be-

x+x+1+x+2=495

3x+3=495

3x=495-3

3x=492

x=492/3

x=164

which means 1st number is 164  

                      2nd number is 165  

                      3rd number is 166
