Question

Solve this please i just need the top answer thx lol :)

Answer 1

Answer: x+(x+1)+(x+2) = 63

This is because x is the smallest number, so x+1 is the next value up, and x+2 is the value after that. The parenthesis are optional. I used them to separate out the three expressions. We can simplify the left side to 3x+3, which means that equation in bold is the same as 3x+3 = 63. So there are few ways we can form the equation.

You have the correct answers for the other boxes:

20+21+22 = 63

Nice work.

Answer 2

20, 21, 22

Explanation:

Let x = the smallest integer of the three consecutive ones

(x + 1) = the next consecutive integer after x

(x + 2) = the next consecutive integer after (x + 1)

The sum of these three should add up to 63 so

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 63

This simplifies to

3x + 3 = 63

Solving for x, we get

x = 20

Therefore, the three consecutive integers whose sum add up to 63 are 20, 21 and 22.
