sum of three consative integers is 24 find the integer

Answers

Answered by Abhijit027

Let us assume 3 consecutive integers as x, x+1 and x+2.
ATP,
x+x+1+x+2=24
3x+3=24
3x=24-3
3x=21
x=21/3
x=7
Therefore the 3 consecutive integers are 7,8 and 9.

kotibujji1: First try to find 3 numbers in a row (consecutive) that add (sum) up to 24. For example, 3 + 4 + 5 = 12. You can do this with equations, but guess and check is probably quicker in this case.

Then square the numbers, and multiply the results together (product). So with the numbers above:

3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
5^2 = 25

9*16*25 = 3600

Abhijit027: Yes u r right. If its an objective question we can go for guessing. But if its a subjective one we should go for equation method.

$\bold\red{\huge{SOLUTION}}$

Let the unknown numbers be x , x+1 , x+2.

Given,
Sum of three consecutive intergers is 24.

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

3x + 3 = 24

3x = 24 - 3

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

x = 7

(x+1) = 7+1 = 8

(x+2) = 7+2 = 9

$\bold\red{\huge{ANSWER}}$

The three consecutive intergers are 7 , 8 and 9.
