We assign X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X+1 and the third number will be X+2 and they should all add up to 135. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:
X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 135
To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract 3 from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:
X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 135
3X + 3 = 135
3X + 3 - 3 = 135 - 3
3X = 132
3X/3 = 132/3
X = 44
Which means that the first number is 44, the second number is 44+1 and third number is 44+2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 135 are:
44
45
46

Let the 3 consecutive no’s be x,x+1 and x+2
Given,their sum=135
So,
X+x+1+x+2=135
3x+3=135
3x=135-3
3x=132
x=132/3
x=44
So,
x=44
x+1=44+1=45
x+2=44+2=46
Hope it’s helpful and clear
