Question

three consecutive integers add up to 51 what are these integer

Answer 1

Let three consecutive integers be x,x+1 and x+2

Three consecutive integers add up to 51.

x+x+1+x+2 = 51

3x+3 = 51

3(x+1) = 51

x+1 = 51/3

x+1 = 17

x = 17-1
x = 16

x = 16

x+1 = 16+1 = 17

x+2 = 16+2 = 18

The three consecutive integers are 16,17 and 18.
