Find three consecutive integers whose sum is 234

Question

Write an equation and solve

Answer 1

Let's represent the three consecutive integers as x, x+1, and x+2.

The equation for their sum is:
x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 234

Combining like terms, we get:
3x + 3 = 234

Subtracting 3 from both sides:
3x = 231

Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 77

Therefore, the three consecutive integers are 77, 78, and 79.
