Three consecutive integers add up to 51. What are these integers.
Answers
Hii dear here is your answer
Let's call the 1st integer x. The second integer is therefore x+1 and the third integer is x+2 (this is because they are consecutive integers). These three integers sum up to 51; therefore set up the following equation and solve:
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=51
3x+3=51
3x=48
x=16
Therefore, the first integer is 16 and the next two integers are 17 and 18. The largest one is 18 and this is the answer.
Hope it's help u

lLet 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
