Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 165. What are the integers?
The first integer is

Answer 1

x = 54

Explanation:

Let the 3 consecutive integers be,

→ x, x + 1, x + 2

Then the equation is,

→ (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 165

The required value of x will be,

→ (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 165

→ 3x + 3 = 165

→ 3x = 165 - 3

→ x = 162/3

→ [ x = 54 ]

Hence, the first integer is 54.
