Question

Which expression lists the three consecutive integers starting with a number x? A. x – 1, x, x + 1 B. x + 1, x, x + 2 C. x, x + 2, x + 4 D. x, x + 1, x + 2

Answer 1

D. x, x + 1, x + 2

Explanation:

We have been given four choices of expressions

A. x – 1, x, x + 1

B. x + 1, x, x + 2

C. x, x + 2, x + 4

D. x, x + 1, x + 2

Now we need to find about which expression lists the three consecutive integers starting with a number x.

We know that consecutive integers can be found by adding 1.

Given that starting integer is x

then 2nd consecutive integer = x+1

then 3rd consecutive integer = x+1+1=x+2

Hence correct choice is

D. x, x + 1, x + 2
