There are 3 consecutive integers that add up to 21. What is the value of the least integer?

Answer 1

Hi Marissa,

If your first number is "N", since they are consecutive, the next number is "N+1" and the one after that is "N+2"...these three add up to 21, so N + (N+1) + (N+2) = 21 so now you can solve for N, which is the least or smallest one:)
