Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the average of three consecutive integers is x, what is the value of x? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify three consecutive integers. Let's call them (x-1), x, and (x+1).
  • Step 2: Add the three integers together: (x-1) + x + (x+1).
  • Step 3: Simplify the sum: (x-1) + x + (x+1) = 3x.
  • Step 4: To find the average, divide the sum by 3: (3x) / 3.
  • Step 5: Simplify the average: (3x) / 3 = x.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the average of the three consecutive integers is x.
