Answer:
54, 55, 56
Step-by-step explanation:
The first integer is x
so the second is x + 1
and the third is x + 2
Add all these together:
so (x) + (x+1) + (x+2) = 165
Group:
x + x + x + 1 + 2 = 165
Combine like terms:
3x + 3 = 165
3x = 162
x = 54
So the first integer is 54
The second is x + 1 = 54 + 1 = 55
And the third is x + 2 = 54 + 2 = 56
54 + 55 + 56 = 165
Answer:
54,55,56
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three consecutive integers be x,x+1,x+2
x+x+1+x+2=165
or, 3x+3=165
or, 3x=165-3
or, 3x=162
or, x=162/3
or, x=54
Now,
x+1=54+1=55
x+2=54+2=56
