There is no set of three consecutive integers whose sum is 71.
The sum of three consecutive integers is -72
The average of the three integers is going to be -306/3 = -102. Therefore, taking one even integer from either side, -306 = (-100) + (-102) + (-104)
The three integers are 187, 188 and 189.
The sum of any three consecutive odd integers is going to give an odd result. It is impossible for the sum of an odd number of odd integers to equal an even number.
The integers are 99, 100 and 101. There is also a set of consecutive even integers whose sum is 300. That set is 98, 100 and 102.
101 and 102
101 and 102
101+102=203
Three consecutive integers have a sum of 12. What is the greatest of these integers?
The numbers are 101 and 102.
There is no set of three consecutive integers whose sum is 71.
The sum of three consecutive integers is -72
Let's represent the three consecutive integers as x, x+1, and x+2. To find their sum, we add these integers together: x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 88. Simplifying the equation gives us 3x + 3 = 88. Subtracting 3 from both sides and then dividing by 3, we find that x = 28. Therefore, the three consecutive integers are 28, 29, and 30, and their sum is indeed 88.
24 + 25 + 26 + 27 = 102
There are no three consecutive odd integers who's sum equals 13.
The average of the three integers is going to be -306/3 = -102. Therefore, taking one even integer from either side, -306 = (-100) + (-102) + (-104)
