Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 27. Find the integers.

Answer 1

a + a+1 + a+2 = 27

solve.

Answer 2

3a + 3 = 27
3a = 24
a = 8

Answer 3

x+x+1+x+2 = 27
3x+3=27
3x=24
x=8

the numbers are 8,9,10

Answer 4

8
9
10

Answer 5

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=27

Remove the parentheses that are not needed from the expression.
x+x+1+x+2=27

Since x and x are like terms, add x to x to get 2x.
2x+1+x+2=27

Since 2x and x are like terms, add x to 2x to get 3x.
3x+1+2=27

Add 2 to 1 to get 3.
3x+3=27

Since 3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 3 from both sides.
3x=-3+27

Add 27 to -3 to get 24.
3x=24

Divide each term in the equation by 3.
(3x)/(3)=(24)/(3)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common terms.
x=(24)/(3)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
x=8
