Question 785494: 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 ?
B. solve the equation in part (a) then find the three consecutive integers Found 2 solutions by oscargut, stanbon:Answer by oscargut(2103) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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

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
