Question

Th sum of three(3) consecutive integers is 72. What are the integers?

Answer 1

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 72

3X + 3 = 72

3X + 3 - 3 = 72 - 3

3X = 69

3X/3 = 69/3

X = 23

Explanation:

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side.
