Question

Three consecutive integers add up to 51. The integers are *
16,17,18
15,16,17
17,18,19
18,19,20

Answer 1

Answer:

1st option

Step-by-step explanation:

let the three consecutive integers be n , n + 1 , n + 2 , then adding gives

n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 51, simplifying

3n + 3 = 51 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3n = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = 16

n + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

n + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18

The 3 consecutive integers are 16, 17, 18
