Question

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

Answer 1

Answer :-

Let the three consecutive integers be (x), (x + 1), (x + 2)

Now, their sum is given as 51.

=> (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 52

=> x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 52

=> 3x + 3 = 51

=> 3x = 51 - 3

=> 3x = 48

=> x = 48/3

∴ x = 16

Hence, the integers are,

=> (x) = 16

=> (x + 1) = 17

=> (x + 2) = 18

Hence, the three consecutive integers whose sum add up to 51 are 16,17,18.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Verified Answer

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

Three consecutive integers add up to 51.

x+x+1+x+2 = 51

3x+3 = 51

3(x+1) = 51

x+1 = 51/3

x+1 = 17

x = 17-1

x = 16

x = 16

x+1 = 16+1 = 17

x+2 = 16+2 = 18

The three consecutive integers are 16,17 and 18.
