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 = 24
3X + 3 = 24
3X + 3 - 3 = 24 - 3
3X = 21
3X/3 = 21/3
X = 7
Which means that the first number is 7, the second number is 7 + 1 and the third number is 7 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 24 are 7, 8, and 9.
7 + 8 + 9 = 24
We know our answer is correct because 7 + 8 + 9 equals 24 as displayed above.
