Answer 1

I write it as 

 

(x) + (x+1) + (x+2) = 6

 

I can then rewrite it to combine the like terms, so the equation will read

 

3x+ 3 = 6

 

From there, you need to isolate x by subtracting the lone three from both sides and dividing by three to cancel out the 3 in 3x.

 

you will get x=1

 

Therefore, the integers are 1,2, and 3

 

when you check 1+2+3, you get 6, so this answer makes sense

Answer 2

The three integers are:

n, n + 1, n + 2

n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 6

Can you solve for n and answer the question?
