Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 53 more than the least of the integers, how do you find the integers?

Answer 1

The integers are: `25,26,27`

If you assume, that the smallest number is `x` then the conditions in the task lead to equation:

`x+x+1+x+2=53+x`
`3x+3=53+x`
`2x=50`
`x=25`

So you get the numbers: `25,26,27`
