Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 108. Which equation would be used to solve this word problem? (HINT: The equation has been simplified some...)

3x + 3 = 108
3x = 108
3(x+3) = 108
3x + 1 = 108

x+ 3 = third number

because they are consecutive

Answer 7

Yes now you are right..

Answer 8

that's x+2 = third number

Answer 9
