Answer 2

Given :-

Sum of three consecutive numbers = 51

To Find :-

The first integer.

The second integer.

The third integer.

Analysis :-

Consider the three consecutive numbers as variables according to the question.

Make an equation.

Solve the variable and substitute it in the other sides as well and get their values too.

Solution :-

Let the three consecutive integers be x, x+1 and x+2.

Given that,

Sum of three consecutive numbers = 51

Making an equation,

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 51

3x + 3 = 51

By transposing,

3x = 51 – 3

3x = 48

Finding x,

x = 48/3

x = 16

Therefore,

x = 16

x + 1 = 17

x + 2 = 18

Therefore, the three consecutive integers are 16, 17 and 18.
