Question

some of three consecutive integer is 24 find integer​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the integers are ,

x,x+1,x+2

now according to condition,their sum is 24

so, x + x+1 + x+2 =24

or, 3x+3=24

3x=21

X=21/3

x=7

so integers are,,

7,8,9

Answer 2

Correct Question :

The some of three consecutive integers is 24. Find the integers.

Answer:

7, 8 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

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

We have,

x + (x+1) +(x+2) = 24

Finding x :

x + (x+1) +(x+2) = 24

⇒x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24

⇒ 3x + 3 = 24

⇒3x = 24 - 3

⇒x = 21/3

⇒x = 7

.°. x = 7

Finding the integers :

• x = 7
• x+ 1 = 7 + 1 = 8
• x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

Hence, the three integers are 7, 8 and 9.

Quick Check :

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24

→ 7 + 7 + 1 + 7 + 2 = 24

→ 24 = 24

Thus, the answer is correct.
