Three consecutive integers have a sum of 81 . Find the integers.

hartnn (hartnn):

could you make an equation ? know what does consecutive mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how

hartnn (hartnn):

let the smallest integer be x since the integers are consecutive, other 2 integers will be x+1 and x+2 now their sum = 81 so, x+ (x+1) + (x+2) = 81 can you solve this for x ?

26

hartnn (hartnn):

good! x= 26 is absolutely correct :) so your 3 integers are 26,27,28
