Question

If the sum of three consecutive integers is 39, what are the three integers?

Answer 1

Three consecutive integers can be written as `(x) , (x+1) , (x+2)`

Adding them:
`(x) + (x+1) + (x+2) = 39`
`3x +3 = 39`
`3x = 36`
`color(purple)(x = 36/ 3 = 12`

so ,`x+1 = 13, x+ 2 = 14`

the numbers are `color(purple)(12,13,14`
