Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 48. Find the integers.

Answer 1

15,16 and 17.

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive integers are x, x+1,x+2

ATQ,

x+x+1+x+2=48

3x+3=48

Subtract 3 from both sides,

3x+3-3=48-3

3x=45

x = 15

First integer = 15

Second integer = 15+1 = 16

Third interger = 15+2 = 17

Hence, three integers are 15,16 and 17.
