Question

The sum of the least and greatest of 3

consecutive integers is 60. What are the
values of the 3 integers?

Answer 1

the three numbers are 29,30,31 because 29+31= 60. I used guess and check because we know that the two numbers have to add up to 60, so for ex: 30+30 is 60 so the other two numbers must be near the same range.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The the 3 consecutive numbers be

X, X + 1, X + 2

: X + X + 2 = 60

2X = 60 - 2

2X = 58

X = 58/2

X = 29

THE NUMBERS ARE 29, 30 AND 31
