Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 241. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 241. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 241

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 241

3X + 3 = 241

3X + 3 - 3 = 241 - 3

3X = 238

3X/3 = 238/3

X = 79 1/3

Since 79 1/3 is not an integer, there is no true answer to this problem.
