Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 279... find the numbers..

Answer 1

Let the three consecutive numbers be x , (x+1) , (x+2)

x+x+1+x+2 = 279
3x+3 = 279
3x = 279-3
3x = 276
x = 276/3
x = 92

The other numbers are (x+1)
92+1 = 93

(x+2) = 92+2 = 94

The three consecutive numbers are 92,93,94

Answer 2

The sum of three consecutive integers is 279.
Let one number be x,
Therefore,other numbers will be (x+1) and (x+2),since consecutive means one after the other..
A/Q , x+(x+1)+(x+2)=279
Implies 3x +1+2=279
Implies 3x+3=279
Implies 3x =279-3
Implies 3x =276
Implies x= 276/3=92
Therefore,x= 92
(x+1)=92+1=93
(x+2)=93+2=94
So, the numbers are 92,93 &94.
