If n is the largest of three consecutive integers, what are the integers?

Question

Hello,

I'm a little confused about this questions so can anyone help me figure it out and have an explanation?

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

Since n is the largest, the next largest must be

n - 1,

and the next largest after that must be

(n - 1) - 1 = n - 2.

So the three integers, in increasing order, are

n - 2

n - 1

n
