The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 99. What are the integers?

Answer provided by our tutors

Assuming you mean "What are three consecutive integers that sum to 99?",

Let x = the lowest of the three integers. This makes the other two x + 1 and x + 2.

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 99

3x + 3 = 99

3x = 96

x = 32

The numbers are 32, 33, and 34.
