Question 826839
The sum of three consecutive integers is 114. 
Find the largest of these integers.

Let the three consecutive integers be:
x
x + 1 and
x + 2

Therefore:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 114

3x + 3 = 114

Subtract 3 from each side of the equation.

3x = 111

x = 37


Answer:

The three consecutive integers are:

37, 38 and 39.


And the largest is 39.
