The sum of three consecutive integers is 228 What are the integers?

Answer 1

Let the first one be x, the second be x + 1, and the third one is x + 2. So we have,

x + x+1 + x +2 = 228

3x + 3 = 228 subtract 3 to both sides

3x = 225 divide by 3 to both sides

x = 75

x + 1 = 75 + 1 = 76

x + 2 = 75 + 2 = 77

Thus, the three consecutive integers are 75, 76, and 77.
