Question

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 417. write and solve an equation that will determine the three integers. let x be the first integer

Answer 1

Let x, (x+1) and (x+2) represent the three consecutive integers


x + (x+1) + (x+2)= 417 the equation that will determine the three integers

3x + 3 = 417

3x = 414
x = 138
the three consecutive integers are 138, 139 and 140
