Question

6. Three consecutive integers add up to 51. What are these integers?

Answer 1

Answer: 16,17,18

Explanation:

(x)+(x+1)+(x+2) = 51

x+x+x+1+2=51

3x+3=51

3x=51-3

3x=48

x=16

x+1 = 17

x+2= 18

Answer 2

• x = 16
• x + 1 = 17
• x + 2 = 18

Step by step Explanation:

Let, the three consecutive integers be x, x+1 and x+2.

`\star \: \underline{\frak{ \purple{According \: to \: the \: question \orange{,}}}}`

`\longrightarrow \: \: \pmb{ \sf{x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 51}}`

`\mapsto \: \: \: \sf{3x + 3 = 51}`

`\mapsto \: \: \: \sf{3x = 51 – 3}`

`\mapsto \: \: \: \sf{3x = 48}`

`\mapsto \: \: \: \sf{x =  (48)/(3) }`

`\mapsto \: \: \: \sf{x = 16}`

•°• the integers are :

• x = 16
• x + 1 = 17
• x + 2 = 18
