Numerical Answers Expected!

Answer 1

set up an equation

1st number is x, 2nd number is x + 1 and 3rd number is x + 2

so

x + x+1 + x+2 = 267

or

3x + 3 = 267

now just solve for x The smallest number, then add 2 to find the largest

Answer 2

Let me know if im wrong

Answer 3

Let the integers be x + (x+1) + (x + 2)

x + (x+1) + (x + 2) = 267

3x + 3 = 267
3x = 264
x = 88

88+89+90=267

Largest integer=90

Another method

267/3 = 89

It's the average,so it has to be the middle one.

Thus 89, then I took 89 - 1 = 88 and 89 + 1 = 90 and just put them in order.

88+89+90=267

Largest integer=90

Answer 4

90
