Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 48. Find the three integers.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The integers are 15,16 and17

Answer 2

Let the numbers be x, (x + 1) and (x + 2)

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 48

3x + 3 = 48

3x = 48 - 3

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

So, the first number is 15

For finding 2nd and 3rd number

15 + 1

= 16

15 + 2

= 17

So, the second number is 16

And the third number is 17
