Answer:

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

3(x)+5(x+1)+7(x+2)=244

3x+5x+5+7x+14=244

15x+19=244

15x=225

x=225/15

x=15

x+1=16

x+2=17

the consecutive numbers are 15,16,17

❍ Let the three integers be x, (x + 1), (x + 2) respectively.

  • When the three consecutive integers are multipled by 3, 5 and 7, their sum is 244.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Therefore,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

:\implies\sf{3(x)+5(x+1)+7(x+2)=244}\\\\\\\\:\implies\sf{3x+5x+5+7x+14=244}\\\\\\\\:\implies\sf{15x+19=244}\\\\\\\\:\implies\sf{15x=244-19}\\\\\\\\:\implies\sf{15x=225}\\\\\\\\:\implies\sf{x=\cancel{\dfrac{225}{15}}}\\\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\frak{\pink{x=15}}}}{\;\bigstar}

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hence,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • First integer = x = 15
  • Second integer = (x + 1) = (15 + 1) = 16
  • Third integer = (x + 2) = (15 + 2) = 17

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

\therefore\;{\underline{\sf{Hence,\;the\;three\;consecutive\;integers\;are\;{\textsf{\textbf{15,\;16\;}}}and\:{\textsf{\textbf{17}}}}.}}
