Question

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 267. How do I find the largest integer?

Answer 1

If the first integer is \(x\), then the next two consecutive integers MUST be \(x + 1\) and \(x +2\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x + (x+1)+(x+2) = 267 }\)

Answer 2

Find the value of \(x\) and add 2.
