Question

Solve: 3 consecutive Integers
add up to 24.
What is the largest Integer?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

lets say the three integers are

x

x+1

x+2

add them up

3x+3

3x+3=24

-3

3x=21

divide by three

x=7

+1

x=8

+2

x=9

double-check:

7+8+9=24

the biggest one is 9

Answer 2

We will now calculate the product of three integers, 7, 8 and 9. We will multiply the first two integers, i.e., 7 and 8. Then, we will multiply the resulting value with the third integer, i.e., 9. Hence, the product of three consecutive integers whose sum is 24 is 504.
