Question

Write and solve of the following linear equation. Show or explain your work.

Three consecutive integers have a sum of 246. What are the three integers

Answer 1

Answer:

The three integers are 81,82 and 83

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x,x+1 and x+2 ----> the three consecutive integers

we know that

$x+(x+1)+(x+2)=246$

Solve for x

$3x+3=246$

$3x=246-3$

$x=243/3$

$x=81$

therefore

$x=81$

$x+1=81+1=82$

$x+2=81+2=83$
