Question

The sum of three consecutive intgers 5 more then the smallest of the integers find the integers

Answer 1

Let the smallest integer be x

Then according to question,

=> x + x + 1 + x + 2 = x + 5
=> 3x + 3 = x + 5
=> 3x - x = 5 - 3
=> 2x = 2
=> x = 1

The integers are-

x = 1
x + 1= 1+1 =2
x +2= 1+2=3
