Question

Sum of three consecutive integers is 24. Find the integers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

So, the three consecutive integers whose sum is 24 are 7, 8 and 9.

Answer 2

Let the integers be x, (x+1) and (x+2).

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

or x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24

or 3x + 3 = 24

or 3x = 24-3

or 3x = 21

or x = 21/3 = 7

The numbers are 7, 8 and 9.
