Question

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

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

Let, the three consecutive numbers be x, 2x and 3x

According to question,

x + 2x + 3x = 45

or, 5x = 45

or, x = 45/5

or, x = 9

Since , the middle among three of the integers is 2x

so, 2x = 2× 9 = 18
