Question

Which equations may be used to determine the 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 127?

Answer 1

a and b.

Explanation:

I’ll explain by giving an example.

Let’s say that: a=3;b=4;c=5; => they all are consecutive -> their sum is 12.

=> if we use a) n=3 => 3*n+3=3*3+3=12 => correct.

b) n+(n+1)+(n+2)= 3+4+5=12=> correct.

c)n+2n+3n=3+6+9=18=>incorrect.

d)3n=3*3=9=>incorrect.
