The sum of three consecutive integers is 99. What is the lowest of the three integers?

a) 17
b) 28
c) 30
d) 32

Answer 1

If you work up with it, like take each number and add them to see if its right

Answer 2

17+18+19 =
28+29+30=
30+31+32=
32+33+34=

Answer 3

well consecutive means any numbers that come right after one another, like 2,3,4 or 45,46,47, or like 33,34,35,
lets try 17,18, and 19 they add up to 54, so thats not it
b and c dont work either so its d
