Question

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 5 more than the smallest of the integers. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest integer be x

So, next two consecutive integer would be x + 1 and x + 2 respectively.

According to question, x + x + 1 + x + 2 = x + 5

                                       ⇒ 3x + 3 = x + 5  

                                       ⇒ 3x – x = 5 – 3

                                       ⇒ 2x – 2

                                       ⇒ x = 1

Therefore, next two consecutive integers are 2 and 3 respectively..
