Question

3 consecutive integers have a sum of 27. What are the integers?

Answer 1

Answer: three consecutive integers that add up to 27 are 8,9 and 10

Explanations: x+x+1+x+2=27
3x+3=27
3x=27-3
3x=24
X=8
Three consecutive numbers
X=8
X+1=8+1=9
X+2=8+2=10

Answer 2

8,9,10

Explanation:

Let x be the first integer

x+1 is the next consecutive integer

x+2 is the third consecutive integer

The sum is 27

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 27

Combine like terms

3x+3 = 27

Subtract 3 from each side

3x+3-3 =27-3

3x =24

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 24/3

x=8

The integers are

x=8

x+1 =9

X+2 =10
