Question

Three consecutive integers are listed in increasing order. If their sum is 102, what is the second integer in the list?

Answer 1

Second integer = 34

Explanation:

Given:

Sum of 3 consecutive integers = 102

Find:

Second integer

Computation:

Assume;

First integer = x

So,

Second integer = (x+1)

Third integer = (x+2)

So,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 102

3x + 3 = 102

x = 33

Second integer = (x+1)

Second integer = (33+1)

Second integer = 34
