Question

The sum of two consecutive integers is two more than the third integer. Find the integers

Answer 1

3, 4, 5

Explanation:

x - the first integer

x+1 - the next integer consecutive to x (the second consecutive integer)

x + x+1 - the sum of two consecutive integers

x+1+1=x+2 - the integer consecutive to x+1 (the third consecutive integer)

x+2 + 2 - two more than the third integer

x + x+1 = x+2 + 2

2x + 1 = x + 4

x + 1 = 4

x = 3

x+1 = 3+1 = 4

x+2 = 3+2 = 5
