Q. There are 3 consecutive integers that add up to 30. What are the integers?_____, _____, _____
Define Consecutive Integers: Let x be the first integer. The three consecutive integers can be represented as x, x+1, and x+2.
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation to represent the sum of the three consecutive integers equal to 30.Equation: x+(x+1)+(x+2)=30
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by combining like terms. x+(x+1)+(x+2)=30(x+x+x)+(1+2)=303x+3=30
Isolate Variable Term: Isolate the variable term by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation.3x+3−3=30−33x=27
Solve for x: Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.33x=327x=9
Find Consecutive Integers: Find the three consecutive integers using the value of x.First integer: x=9Second integer: x+1=9+1=10Third integer: x+2=9+2=11
