Question

Find three consecutive integers whose sum is 537 .

Answer 1

178, 179, 180

all three add up to 537

Answer 2

178

179

180

Explanation:

let the 1st number = x

2nd number = x + 1

3rd number = x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 537

3x = 537 - 3

3x = 534

x = 178

x+1 = 178 + 1 = 179

x+2= 178 + 2 = 180
