Question

Three consecutive Integers add up to 51.What are these number​

Answer 1

☘️ Answer :

• The three consecutive integers added up to 51 are 16, 17 and 18.

_____________________________

☘️ Solution :

So,

Let the three consecutive integers be x, x + 1 and x + 2.

As per the condition given, we have :

• x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 51

➻ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51

➻ 3x + 3 = 51

➻ 3x +3 -3= 51 – 3 [subtracting 3 from both the sides]

➻ 3x = 48

➻ x ÷3= 48 ÷ 3 [dividing 3 to both the sides]

➻ x = 16

Therefore, the required integers are 16, 16 + 1 = 17 and 16 + 2 = 18. So, 16, 17 and 18.
