Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the first and the third is 40.

19, 20, and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we can look for two numbers, one which is two larger than the other.

So, it would look like: 40 = x + (x + 2)

Simplify: 2x + 2 = 40

Subtract: 2x = 38

Divide: x = 19

So, the three numbers will be 19, 20, and 21.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
