Question

the s sum of the three consecutive positive integers is 258 find the integer​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Integers are 85,86,87

Step-by-step explanation:

let the three consecutive integers be :-

                   n,(n+1),(n+2)

so, the sum of all three is 258.

so,

          = n+(n+1)+(n+2) = 258

          = 3n+3 = 258

          = 3n = 255

          =>  n = 85             ans.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Any three consecutive numbers are written as (x-1), x , (x+1). Now add them we have their sum is 258. Implies that

(x-1)+x+(x+1)=258

3x=258

x=86

Thus 85, 86 , 87 are the three consecutive numbers whose addition is 258.
