What 3 consecutive integers equal 84

First represent your 3 consecutive integers as follows.

X ⇒ first integer

X + 1 ⇒ second integer

X + 2 ⇒ third integer

Since their sum is 84, our equation reads x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 84.

Simplifying on the left side we get 3x + 3 = 84.

Now subtract 3 from both sides to get 3x = 81.

Dividing both sides by 3, we find that x = 27.

Finally, make sure you list all your answers.

If x is 27 then x + 1 is 28 and x + 2 is 29.

27 + 28 + 29 = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive integers be x +1, x+2 and x+3

Thus,

Remove the brackets

Group the like terms

To make 3x subject of formula, subtract 6 from both sides of the equation thus,

Divide through by 3

Since x = 26

Therefore, the three consecutive integers are 27, 28 and 29

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
