Question

Find three consecutive integers that sums to 15. Show your equation and all work.​

Answer 1

4, 5, 6

Explanation:

Represent the first number by x. Then the next two consecutive integers are x + 1 and x = 2.

THEN x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 15, WHICH REDUCES TO 3x + 3 = 15.

Then 3x = 12, and x = 4.

The consecutive integers are 4, 5 and 6.
