Question

sum of three consecutive integers is 24 find the integer​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the consecutive integers be (x-1) , x (x+1)

given sum of the three consecutive integers = 24

(x-1) + x +(x+1) = 24

3x = 24

x = 8

so the numbers are 7 , 8 , 9

Answer 2

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• Sum of three consecutive integers is 24.

To Find :-

• The integer.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let ,

The 1st consecutive integer be x

The 2nd consecutive integer be x + 1

The 3rd consecutive integer be 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

Thus,

First integer = x = 7

Second integer = x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8

Third integer = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

Hence,

The three consecutive integers are 7, 8 and 9
