Consecutive Integers Word Problem

Question

Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the least integer and the middle integer is 28 more than the greatest integer.

Answer 1

Three consecutive integers: n, n+1, n+2

 

The sum of the least and middle integers (n + (n+1)) is 28 more than the greatest ((n+2)+28) integer

 

n + (n + 1) = (n + 2) + 28

 

2n + 1 = n + 30

 

Solve for n, then n+1 and n+2.
