Q. There are 3 consecutive integers that have a sum of 33. Which integers are they?_, _, _
Define 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 that represents the sum of the three consecutive integers equal to 33. Equation: x+(x+1)+(x+2)=33
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by combining like terms.x+(x+1)+(x+2)=33(x+x+x)+(1+2)=333x+3=33
Isolate Variable Term: Isolate the variable term by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation.3x+3−3=33−33x=30
Solve for x: Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.33x=330x=10
Find Consecutive Integers: Find the three consecutive integers using the value of x.First integer: x=10Second integer: x+1=10+1=11Third integer: x+2=10+2=12
