Question

83 is the sum of three consecutive intengers what are the intengers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Alright, so we're going to name the three consecutive integers. So x = the smallest integer. X + 1 = the next smallest. X + 2 = the biggest integer. Now we put them into an equation. X + x + 1 + x + 2 = 83.

We get 3x + 3 = 83. Subtract 3 from both sides.

3x = 80 Now divide 80 by 3.

It's not a perfect integer so make sure that 83 is the correct number... Once you get the correct number, you can apply these same equations and get your answer. I hope this helped :)

Answer 2

83 is not divisible by 3, so cannot be the sum of three consecutive integers.

84 is the sum of 27, 28, 29.
