The three consecutive integers are 19, 20 and 21.
Correct question:
The sum of three consecutive integers is 60. Find the numbers. [Since the sum of three consecutive odd numbers cannot be an even number.]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2.
So, their sum
= x + (x + 1) + (x + 2)
= x + x + 1 + x + 2
= x + x + x + 1 + 2
= 3x + 3
According to the question, the sum of three consecutive integers is 60
⇒ 3x + 3 = 60
⇒ 3x = 60 - 3
⇒ 3x = 57
⇒ x = 19
So, the three consecutive integers are 19, (19 + 1) = 20 and (19 + 2) = 21.
