Answer 1

option a is the right answear trust

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option A: 17,18,19 is the right answer.

Explanation:

Let x be the first integer then the next two consecutive integers will be x+1, x+2

According to the given statement, the equation will be:

`x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 54`

The equation is a linear equation in one variable, we have to solve the equation to get the values of integers

`x+x+1+x+2 = 54\\3x+3 = 54\\3x = 54-3\\3x = 51\\(3x)/(3) = (51)/(3)\\x = 17`

Second integer = x+1 = 17+1 = 18

Third integer = x+2 = 17+2 = 19

The three integers are: 17,18 and 19

Hence,

Option A: 17,18,19 is the right answer.
