Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

Three consecutive integers add up to 51

To find:-

Find the three Consecutive integers ?

Solution:-

Let the three consecutive integers be X,X+1,X+2

The sum of the integers = X + X+1 + X+2

Their sum = 3X + 3

According to the given problem

The Three consecutive integers add up to 51.

=> 3X + 3 = 51

=> 3(X+1) = 51

=> X + 1 = 51/3

=> X+1 = 17

=> X = 17-1

=> X = 16

and

X+1 = 16+1=17

and

X+2 = 16+2 = 18

Answer:-

Three consecutive integers are 16, 17, 18

Check:-

16+17+18 = 51

The Sum of the three consecutive integers = 51

Verified the given relation.
