a) Yes the equation is right since n,n+1 and n+2 are consecutive integers
(n is the smallest integer)
b) n+(n+1)+(n+2)=84
3n+3 = 84
3n = 81
n = 27
Integers are: 27,28 and 29

You want to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 84.
A. Why does the equation n+(n+1)+(n+2)=84 model the situation ?
1st integer: n
2nd integer: n+1
3rd integer: n+1+1 = n+2

B. solve the equation in part (a) then find the three consecutive integers
3n+3 = 84
3n = 81
n = 27
n+1 = 28
n+2 = 29
