Question 224786: Choose the equation that best represents the following: The sum of three consecutive integers is 24.
A. x(x + 1)(x + 2) = 24
B. x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 24
C. (x + 1)(x + 2) = 24
D. x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 24
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Choose the equation that best represents the following: The sum of three consecutive integers is 24.
A. x(x + 1)(x + 2) = 24
B. x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 24
C. (x + 1)(x + 2) = 24
D. x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 24
Step 1. Let x be the first integer.
Step 2. Let x+1 and x+2 be the next two consecutive integers
Step 3. Let x+(x+1)+(x+2) be the sum of the three consecutive integers.
Step 4. Then x+(x+1)+(x+2)= 24 since the sum of the three integers is 24.
Step 5. ANSWER is D.
I hope the above steps were helpful.
