Given:
- The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 24.
To find:
- The required integers ?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Solution:
Let the three consecutive integers be x, x + 1, x +2.
➜ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24
➜ 3x + 3 = 24
➜ 3x = 24 - 3
➜ 3x = 21
➜ x = 21/3
➜ x = 7
Therefore, The three consecutive integers are :
- x = 7
- x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8
- x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

☆ Solution ☆
Given :-
- Sum of three consecutive integers is 24 .
To Find :-
- The integers.
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.
