Question

Three consecutive integers add up to 51. What are these integers.

Answer 1

Answer:

16,17,18

Step-by-step explanation:

let let the three consecutive integers be

x,x+1,x+3

(because they will be in continuous form,eg ,1,2,3

=1,1+1,1+2)

x+x+1+x+2=51

3x+3=51

3x=48

x=48/3

x=16

so,

x=16

x+1=16+1=17

x+2=16+2=18

so

the three numbers are 16 ,17 ,18 you can verify it by adding

Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\rm{\purple{Answer}}}}}}$

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 3 consecutive integers be x,x + 1, x + 2

Given

Three consecutive integers add up to 51.

So,

• x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51

• 3x + 3 = 51

• 3x = 51 - 3

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16

So, the consecutive integers are

• x = 16

• x + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

• x + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18
