How to find three consecutive integers with a sum of 54 - Free Math Help - Online Tutor

The video tutorial explains how to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 54. It begins by defining integers and their properties, then sets up an equation to represent the consecutive integers. The instructor demonstrates solving the equation but encounters an error in the calculation. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the concept of consecutive numbers and setting up equations correctly.

What is an integer in the context of this problem?

• A fraction

• A complex number

• A counting number

• A decimal number

What does it mean for integers to be consecutive?

• They follow one after another

• They are all even numbers

• They are all prime numbers

• They are all odd numbers

If the first integer is X, what is the expression for the second consecutive integer?

• X - 1

• X + 2

• X

• X + 1

What is the sum of the three consecutive integers expressed as an equation?

• 3X = 54

• X + 2 = 54

• 3X + 3 = 54

• X + 1 = 54

What is the next step after setting up the equation 3X + 3 = 54?

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Divide both sides by 3
