Question

The sum of three consecutive integers is 267. What is the largest integer?

Answer 1

So let x= 1st integer
Let x+1=2nd integer
And x+2=3rd integer
And since u know the sum of these consecutive integer is 267

You can write this equation
x+x+1+x+2=267

So now can you solve for x from here?

X = 90?

Answer 3

88

Combine like terms
3x+3=267
-3. -3

x=88

Answer 5

But since your question ask for the largest integer.
It would be 88+2=90
Because our largest integer was x+2

So 90 is right
