Question

find 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 114

Answer 1

let the middle number be x
so three numbers are x-1,x,x+1
ok?
sum = 114
so x-1+x+x+1=114
so 3x=114
so can u find x now?
that will be your middle number.

Answer 2

somebody else told me i could do it this way: 1st number=x, 2nd number=x+2, 3rd number=x+4.
So it would be x+x+4+x+2=114, or 3x+6=114.
So its 3x=108 and x would be the first number right?
Are both ways correct?

Answer 3

but they are consecutive , not even (or odd)
consecutive means difference = 1 so,x-1,x,x+1
even(or odd) means difference=2 so x,x+2,x+4.
ok?

Answer 4

oh ok. I understand now. Thank you. :)
