Question

Sum of 3 consecutive integers is 24.Find the integers

Answer 1

hiii!!!

here's ur answer...

let the three consecutive integers be x, x+1 and x+2

therefore x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24

==> 3x + 3 = 24

==> 3x = 24 - 3

==> 3x = 21

==> x = 21/3

==> x = 7

hence, the three consecutive integers are :-

x = 7, x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8 and x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

verification :-

= 7 + 8 + 9

= 15 + 9

= 24

hence verified..

hope this helps..!!

Answer 2

Let the three consecutive integers be x, (x+1), and (x+2). Then,
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24
=> 3x = 24 - 3 = 21 => x = 7
*x = 7*
*x+1 = 8*
*x+2 = 9*
