Question

Three consecutive integers have a sum of 84. Find the integers

Answer 1

=> let one integer be x

=> then other two integer will be (x+1) and (x+2)

=> the sum of integers are 84

=> x+(x+1)+(x+2)= 84

=> 3x+3= 84

=> 3x= 84-3

=> 3x= 81

=> x= 81/3

=> x= 27

therefore the integer is 27

then the other two integers are 28 and 29

hence the three intregers are 27,28,29
