Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 267 what is the largest integer

Answer 1

If we cal lthe first number 'n' then we know that the numbers are n, n+1 and n+2 and we know the sum:

`n+(n+1)+(n+2)=267`
therefore:

`3n+3=267`

`3n=264`

`n=88`

The numbers are 88,89,90, the largest of which is 90.

To check: 88+89+90=267. Checks.

Answer 2

Well 88 + 89 + 90 = 267. So the largest integer is 90.
