Question

Three consecutive integers add up to 51. What is the integers

Answer 1

hii!!

here's ur answer...

let the three consecutive integers be x, x+1 and x+2

therefore x + x+1 + x+2 = 51

==> 3x + 3 = 51

==> 3x = 51 - 3

==> 3x = 48

==> x = 48/3

==> x = 16

hence, the three consecutive integers be are :-

x = 16

x + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

x + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18

hope this helps..!!

Answer 2

let the first number be n.
then
according to question
n+(n+1)+(n+2)=51
I.e
3n+3=51
3n=48
therefore n=16
n+1=17
n+2=18
so required numbers are :16 ,17and18
