Answer 2

Hey mate

here's your answer

Three consecutive integers sum to 12. What are the integers?

Let the smallest of three consecutive integer be x

Thus other two consecutive integers are x + 1 and x + 2

As per statement the sum of three consecutive integers is 12. To find the three integers.

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 12

3x + 3 = 12

3x = 12 - 3

3x = 9

x = 9 / 3

x = 3

Thus smallest consecutive integer is 3, The other two consecutive integers are

x+ 1 = 3 + 1= 4;

x + 2= 3 + 2= 5

Thus three consecutive integers are 3, 4 and 5
