2

Then... the second integer will be

x

Then.... the third integer will be

x

+

2

Now... their sum is

57

x

−

2

+

x

+

x

+

2

=

57

You get

3

x

=

57

x

=

57

x

=

19

( that's the second integer)

First integer

x

−

2

=

19

−

2

x

−

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the 2 no. be x and x+2

the sum of the no. is 57

x+x+2=57

2x+2=57

2x=57- 2

2x = 55

x=55/2

x=27.5

so the two no. are

x=27.5

x+2=27.5+2=29.5
