Question

if the sum of three consecutive integers is 21, then find the least integer.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Least integer = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,(x+1),(x+2) are three consecutive Integers.

According to the problem given,

x+x+1+x+2= 21

=> 3x+3=21

=> 3x=21-3

=> 3x = 18

Divide each term by 3 , we get

=> x = 6

Now,

Three consecutive Integers are ,

6,7,8

Therefore,

Least integer = 6

Sum=21

Equation=

x+x+1+x+2=21

3x+3=21

3x=21-3

x=18/3

x=6

So,

x+1=7

x+2=8
