Answer 1

Answer:

Three consecutive integers add up to 51. The three consecutive integers are 16,17 and 18.

Answer 2

Answer :-

• The integers are 16, 17 and 18.

Step by step explanation:

To find :-

• The integers.

Solution:

Given that,

• Three consecutive integers add up to 51.

The integers are,

• x
• x + 1
• x + 2

Therefore,

Sum of integers = 51

ᅠ

$\longrightarrow \bf x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 51$

ᅠ

$\longrightarrow \bf x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 51$

ᅠ

$\longrightarrow \bf 3x + 3 = 51$

ᅠ

$\longrightarrow \bf 3x = 51 - 3$

ᅠ

$\longrightarrow \bf 3x = 48$

ᅠ

$\longrightarrow \bf x = \dfrac{48}{3}$

ᅠ

$\longrightarrow \bf x = 16$

ᅠ

Therefore, The integers are :-

• x = 16
• x + 1 = 17
• x + 2 = 18
