To arrive at this answer, we can avoid a lot of math formulas, and the use of a calculator by investigating the given statement and quantities.
Three consecutive integers means three numbers that follow each other like 1,2,3. So if we add these up we get 6 as a sum.
But in this case the desired sum of three consecutive integers is 75.
That means we can start by dividing the target sum 75 by 3.
75/3=25→ you have probably memorized that one already.
That means 3×25=75or25+25+25=75
But if we take a 1 from the first 25 and move it to the third 25, we arrive at:
24,25,26→ which are three consecutive integers that sum to 75#.
If you can understand this method and are careful in using it you will save a lot of time when these types of puzzles appear.
