Choose the equation that could be used to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 36. (5 points)

Group of answer choices

n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 36

n + (n + 1) + (n + 3) = 36

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 36

n + (n − 1) + (n − 3) = 36

Let the first no consecutive be n
1st no n
2nd no (n+ 1)
3rd no (n+2)
As you said the summation of these three consecutive numbers is 36 , the equation will be
n + (n+1)+(n+2) = 36

I hope this helps
