Given that:-

Sum of 6 consecutive integers is equal to 387

now,

let the integers be as follows :-

x

x+1

x+2

x+3

x+4

x+5

$\rule{200}{2}$

According to the question:-

$x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5=387\\ \\ \\6x+15=387\\ \\ \\6x=387-15=372\\ \\ \\x = \dfrac{372}{6}\\ \\ \\x=62$

$\rule{200}{2}$

The number are 62;63;64;65;66;67

$\rule{200}{2}$

The sixth number is equal to $\bold{67}$

$\rule{200}{2}$
