Question

Three consecutive integers add upto51.What are their integers?

Answer 1

Answer:

16;17;18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first integer be=x

Second integer=x+1

Third integer=x+2

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=51

x+x+1+x+2=51

x+x+x+1+2=51

3x+3=51

3x=51-3

3x=48

x=48/3

x=16

First integer=x=16

Second integer=(x+1)=16+1=17

Third integer=(x+2)=16+2=18

Answer 2

Answer:
