Question

IMPORTANT NOTES
Three consecutive integers add ap to
51, what are these integers ( in the form of linear equations in one variable) ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consecutive numbers be, x, x+1 and x+2. Thus, the required three consecutive numbers are: 16, 17 and 18.

Answer 2

Answer: The numbers are 16, 17 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three integers be x, (x+1) and (x+2).

According to the problem,

⇒x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 51

⇒x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 51

⇒3x +3 = 51

⇒3x = 51 - 3

⇒3x = 48

⇒x = 48/3

⇒x = 16

So. the numbers are x = 16, (x+1) = 17 and (x+2) = 18.
