Q. The sum of 33 consecutive integers is 5151. Which integers are they?\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_, _____\_\_\_\_\_, _____\_\_\_\_\_
  1. Define Integers: Let xx be the first integer. The three consecutive integers can be represented as xx, x+1x+1, and x+2x+2.
  2. Set Up Equation: Set up the equation to represent the sum of the three consecutive integers equal to 5151: x+(x+1)+(x+2)=51x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 51.
  3. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation: x+x+1+x+2=51x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51 becomes 3x+3=513x + 3 = 51.
  4. Isolate Variable Term: Isolate the variable term by subtracting 33 from both sides of the equation: 3x+33=5133x + 3 - 3 = 51 - 3 which simplifies to 3x=483x = 48.
  5. Divide to Solve: Divide both sides of the equation by 33 to solve for xx: 3x3=483\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{48}{3} which simplifies to x=16x = 16.
  6. Find Consecutive Integers: Now that we have the value of xx, we can find the three consecutive integers: x=16x = 16, x+1=16+1x+1 = 16+1, and x+2=16+2x+2 = 16+2. Therefore, the integers are 1616, 1717, and 1818.
