Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 7+8+9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive no. be (n-1)(n)(n+1)

so,

n-1+n+n+1=24

=3n=24

=n=8

On putting the vale of n on the taken expression we have

n-1=7

n=8

n+1=9answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the three consecutive nos 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

.: x=7

x+1

=7+1=8

x+2

=7+2=9

so 7,8,9 are the three consecutive integers .

(therefore their sum is 7+8+9=24)
