Question

three consecutive integer add up to 51. what are these integer?​

Answer 1

Answer:

==>> Let the first integer be x, second be (x+1) & third be (x+2)

x+x+1+x+2= 51

3x+3 = 51

3x= 51–3

3x = 48

x= 48/3

x = 16

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16

x +1 = 16+1 =17

x+2 = 16+2 = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the consecutive numbers be x, x+1 , x+2

Given :

Sum of the three consecutive numbers = 51

Find :

The consecutive numbers = according to given condition

                                              =  x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51

                                                = 3x +3 = 51

                                                = 3x = 51 - 3             [ transpose +3}

                                                = 3x = 48

                                                  = x = 48/3 = 16

The consecutive numbers are :

x = 16

x + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

x + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18

∴ The consecutive numbers are 16, 17 and 18.
