Question

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

Answer 1

Just divide 267 by 3. Then what do you get?

Answer 2

so consecutive will be one bigger than x= x+1

and other consecutive will be one bigger than x+1=x+2

now sum of these 3 = 267

x+x+1+x+2=267

3x+3=267

3x=264

x=88

now we know that the biggest one is x+2 right? plus in the value of x

88+2=90 which is biggest

Answer 3

Well, lets say the first number is n, so we get the equation n+(n+1)+(n+2)=267. This gives us 3n+3=267, or 3n=264. So n=264/3=88. Now we know the first number is 88, so the second is 89 and the third is 90.

Answer 4

Then round it and you get 90.
