Question

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 60. What is the value of the third integer?

Answer 1

x=19

Explanation:

The consecutive integers will be x, x+1 and x+2 since consecutive integers have a pattern.

So, the equation is x+x+1+x+2=60

Solve:

x+x+1+x+2=60

3x+3=60

Subtract 3 on both sides:

3x+3-3=60-3

3x=57

Divide by 3

3x/3=57/3

x=19
