Question

the sum of three consecutive integers is 294. Find the integers.

Answer 1

x = 1st integer
x + 1 = 2nd integer
x + 2 = 3rd integer

(x ) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 294 -- combine like terms
3x + 3 = 294 -- subtract 3 from both sides
3x = 294 - 3
3x = 291 -- divide both sides by 3
x = 97

x + 1 = 97 + 1 = 98
x + 2 = 97 + 2 = 99

your numbers are : 97,98,99

Answer 2
