Question

the sum of three consecutive integers is 51. find the product of the integers

Answer 1

Okay, so 3 consecutive integers. Do you know what that means?

Answer 2

not a clue

Answer 3

3 consecutive integers means 3 numbers, one after another.
Example: 2, 3, 4

Those are 3 consecutive integers.

What's the differences between 2 and 3, and 2 and 4?
If 2 = N, then 3 would be (N + 1) and 4 would be (N + 2), right?

Use this information to create an equation for your problem

Answer 4

nice explaining StudyGurl :)

Answer 5

i am still lost.....

Answer 6

Thanks @texaschic101

Answer 7

Consecutive means oneright after another, right. So it's asking for three numbers, that are one after the other;
let x be the first number, then the next number- x+1; x+2
so the three cinsecutive numbers would be;
x, x+1, x+2
so we have;
Find 3 consecutive integers with the sum of 51.
x+x+1+x+2=51
add like terms;
3x+3=51
3x=48
x=16
x+1=17
x+2=18

Answer 8

so much for explaining it :(

Answer 9

Yep, what @Lemaz put. Except, they are asking for the product of the integers also

Answer 10

Answer 12

product means multiply...so multiply your 3 terms : 16 * 17 * 18 = your answer
