The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 15. What is the product of these integers?
sum of 3 consecutive integers,
so the first integer is x
second integer is x+1 (Because it is consecutive) then the third is x+2
The sum of them is equal to 15
so
x+x+1+x+2=15
combine like terms
3x+3=15
subtract 3
3x=12
divide by 3
x=4
Find each integer just by subsituiting x=4
first integer is x so it is = 4
second integer is x+1 so it is 5
third integer is x+2 so it is 6
Their product, 4*5*6=120
