Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is
45 Find the value of the middle of the three.

Answer 1

So the three consecutive numbers are:

14,15, and 16.

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive integers be = x , x+1, x+ 2 sum = 45

then,

x + (x + 1) + (x +2) = 45

-> 3x + 3 = 45

-> 3x = 45 - 3

-> x = 14

-> x = 14

-> x + 1 = 15

-> x + 2 = 16

So, three consecutive numbers are : 14, 15, and 16.
