Sum of three consecutive integers is 24. Find the integers.

Answer»

Let the three integers be = x, x + 1, x 2

Sum of the integers = x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 3x + 3

By problem, 3x + 3 = 24’

3x = 24 – 3 (Transposing + 3)

3x = 21

x = 21/3 (transposing x 3)

x = 7

∴ The integers x = 7

x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8

x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
