Question

Find three consecutive integers if the sun of the first two is 51 more than the thirds integer.

Answer 1

• 52, 53, 54

Explanation:

Let's name the three consecutive numbers "x, x + 1, x + 2".

We know that:

• x + x + 1 = 51 + x + 2

Work:

• x + x + 1 = 51 + x + 2
• => 2x + 1 = 53 + x
• => 2x - x = 52
• => x = 52

Hence, the numbers are 52, 53, 54.
