Question

The sum of 6 consecutive integers is 519, what is the third number?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the integers be x,x+1,x+2,x+3,x+4,x+5

then ,

x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5= 519

6x+15 =519

6x = 519 - 15

6x = 504

x = 504/6

x= 84

Ans. therefore the 3rd integer will be x + 2 = 84+2

= 86

Answer 2

Answer:

86 is the third number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the smallest number be "x", then the sum of consective number will be -

    x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) + (x + 5) = 519

⇒ 6x + 15 = 519

⇒ 6x = 504

⇒ x = 504/6

⇒ x = 84

So the smallest number is 84, and third number is x+2 = 84 + 2 = 86
