Question

The sum of the three consecutive integers is 96. what is the largest integer?

Answer 1

Ok Let the three consecutive integers be 'x', 'x + 1' and 'x+2'
x + x+1 + x+2 = 96
3x + 3 = 96
3x = 96-3
3x = 93
x= 93/3
x = 31
The three consecutive integers are 31, 32 and 33.
Check the answer: 31 + 32 + 33 = 96
The answer is correct

Answer 2

Or let x = be the integer

(x-1) + x + (x +1) = 96

3* x = 96

x = 96/3 = 32

so the consecutive numbers are
31, 32, 33
Thus the integer is 32

Answer 3

let x= smallest integer
x+1= second
third x+2

all these =96
