Answer 2

Given :

• The sum of three consecutive integers is 48.

To find :

• the three integers.

Solution :

⇒ Let's find the consecutive numbers.

• Concept : Here, we have to use a linear equation to create an answer. And to find the answer, we have to use the Transportation method. (Let the consecutive integers be x)

→ x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 48 (Equation created)

→ (x + x + x) + (1 + 2) = 48

→ (3x) + (3) = 48

→ 3x + 3 = 48

→ 3x = 48 - 3

→ 3x = 45

→ x = 45/3

→ x = 15

∴ x = 15

⇒ Consecutive numbers :

→ x = 15

→ x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

→ x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

• Therefore, the three consecutive integers are 15, 16, and 17.
