Sum of three consecutive integers is24. find the integers |
|
Answer» LET the THREE consecutive integers be ( x - 1 ) , x , ( x + 1 ) GIVEN that sum = 24 => x + x + 1 + x - 1 = 24 => 3x + 1 - 1 = 24 => 3x + 0 = 24 => 3x = 24 => x = 24 / 3 = 8 Hence the three integers are ( 8 - 1 ), 8, ( 8 + 1 ). Hence the numbers are 7, 8, 9 |
