Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

let the integers be

x- 1 , x and x + 1

according to question ,

x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 51

=> 3x = 51

=> x = 51/3 = 17

so, first integer = x - 1 = 17 - 1 = 16

second integer = x = 17

third integer = x + 1 = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

16, 17, 18

Step-by-step explanation:

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

the sum add up to 51,

x + x+1 + x+2 = 51

3x + 3 = 51

subtract 3 from both side

3x + 3 - 3 = 51 - 3

3x = 48

divide both side by 3

3x/3  = 48/3

x =  16

therefore the integers are 16, 17, 18.
