Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 270. Find the integers

Answer 1

Explanation:

89,90,91

Answer 2

Let's call the first integer x, and therefore, the second and third integers would be x + 1 and x + 2 respectively since they are consecutive. Since their sum is 270 we can write:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 270

3x + 3 = 270

3x = 267

x = 89 which means that the answer is 89, 90, 91.
