Question

An integer is represented by x. What are the next three consecutive integers after x?

A) x + 1, x + 2, x + 3
B) x + 0, x + 1, x + 2
C) x + 2, x + 4, x + 6
D) x + 1, x + 3, x + 5

Answer 1

A) x + 1, x + 2, x + 3

Explanation:

Let x represent our integer

The next integer is found by adding 1

x+1

The integer after that is found by adding 1 to x+1

x+1+1 = x+2

The integer after that is found by adding 1 to x+2

x+2+1 = x+3

The three integers after x are

x+2, x+2, x+3
