Answer 2

Question.

three consecutive integers add up to 51 what are these integers?

Solution:-

Let the integers be x, x+1 and x+2

According to the question:-

$x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51 \\ \\ \implies \: 3x + 3 = 51 \\ \\ \implies \: 3x = 51 - 3 \\ \\ \implies \: 3x = 48 \\ \\ \implies \: x = \frac{48}{3} = 16$

The first integer = x = 16

The second integer = x+1 = 16+1 = 17

The third integer = x+2 = 16+2 = 18

The three integers are 16,17 and 18

________________

Verification:-

16+17+18

= 51

________________

Therefore, the three integers are 16,17 and 18

Hence, verified
