50 + 51 + 52 = 153
51
153, 155, and 157
Three consecutive integers have a sum of 12. What is the greatest of these integers?
There is no set of three consecutive integers whose sum is 71.
The sum of three consecutive integers is -72
50, 51, 52
There are no three consecutive odd integers who's sum equals 13.
There are no such answers. The sum of even numbers is even. The sum of odd numbers could be even, but the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is always odd. One could swap the questions to get potentially answerable questions: Sum of 3 consecutive EVEN integers = 150 48 + 50 + 52 = 150 unfortunately, we can already see that if we were to make these odd integers (add 1 to each), we would get 153, not 151. Sum of 3 consecutive ODD integers = 151 49 + 51 + 53 = 153 47 + 49 + 51 = 147 We can see that, whenever we slide our three consecutive integers up one, we raise the value of the sum up 3, and if we jump from odd to odd, or even to even, we raise each integer by 2, so we raise the sum by 6.
x + (x+1) + (x+2) = -153 3x + 3 = -153 3x = -156 x = -52 The three numbers are therefore: -52,-51 & -50.
20,21 and 22 are three consecutive integers whose sum is 63. 20+21+22
No. There is no set of three consecutive even integers with a sum of 40.
The sum of the squares of the three consecutive integers 11, 13, 15 = 515
