Question

Two numbers are
Three consecutive integers add up to 51. What are these integers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first number be x. Then as all the three given numbers are consecutive, then the next two numbers will be x + 1 and x + 2. Now, according to the given condition in the question, the three integers add up to 51. ... Hence, we have obtained three consecutive numbers as 16, 17 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x. Then as all the three given numbers are consecutive, then the next two numbers will be x + 1 and x + 2. Now, according to the given condition in the question, the three integers add up to 51.

⇒x+x+1+x+2=51

⇒3x+3=51

Taking 3 common, we get,

⇒3(x+1)=51

⇒x+1=513

⇒x+1=17

⇒x=17−1

⇒x=16

$x = 16$
