Answer 2

Given :-

• Three consecutive integers add up to 51.

To Find :-

• What are these integers?

Solution :-

Let the fist, second and third integers are x ,

(x +1) and ( x+2) respectively.

Given that :-

Three consecutive integers add up to 51.

Therefore,

x + x+1 + x +2 = 51

⟼ 3x + 3 = 51

⟼ 3x = 48

$⟼x = 16$

The first consecutive number will be = 16

The second consecutive number will be = 16 +1 =17

And third consecutive number will be = 16+2 =18

Therefore,

three required consecutive numbers are 16,17 and 18.
