Question

The sum of three consecutive positive integers is 39.find these integers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive positive integers are x, (x + 1) and (x + 2 ).

According to the question,

Sum of the three consecutive positive integeintegers = 39

∴ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 39

⇒ 3x + 3 = 39

⇒ 3x = 39 - 3

⇒ 3x = 36

⇒ x = 36 / 3

⇒ x = 12

∴ The three consecutive positive integeintegers

= x, x+ 1 and x + 2

= 12 , 12 + 1 and 12+ 2

= 12, 13 and 14 is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

12, 13, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown values be x, x+1, x+2.

Then,

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=39

= 3x+1+2=39

= 3x=39-3=36

= x=36÷3=12

x=12

x+1=13

x+2=14

12+13+14=39
