Question

Sum of three consecutive integers is 24. find the answer ​

Answer 1

☆ Answer ☆

Let the integers be x

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

3 x + 3 = 24

3x = 24-3

3 x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

First consecutive is 7

Second consecutive is 7+1 = 8

Third consecutive is 7+2 = 9

Hence , the numbers are 7, 8 , 9

Answer 2

Solution :-

Consecutive integers are those integers which follow a sequence where each subsequent number is one more than the previous number.

Here,

We have to find 3 consecutive number whose sum is 24

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

According to the question,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24

3x + 3 = 24

3x = 24 - 3

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Therefore,

• The first consecutive number is 7

• The second consecutive number is x+1 = 7 + 1 = 8

• The third consecutive number is x + 2

= 7 + 2 = 9

Hence, Three consecutive integers are 7 , 8 and 9 $.$
