Q. There are 3 consecutive integers with a sum of 54. 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 54.Equation: x+(x+1)+(x+2)=54
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by combining like terms.x+x+x+1+2=543x+3=54
Isolate Variable Term: Isolate the variable term by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation.3x+3−3=54−33x=51
Solve for x: Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.33x=351x=17
Find Consecutive Integers: Find the three consecutive integers using the value of x.First integer: x=17Second integer: x+1=17+1=18Third integer: x+2=17+2=19
