To make an international telephone call, you need the code for the country you are calling. The code for country A, country B, and C are three consecutive integers whose sum is 90. Find the code for each country.
If they are three consecutive integers, then we have:
A + (A + 1) + (A + 2) = 90
Combine like terms
3A + 3 = 90
Using our equation calculator, we get:
A = 29
Which means:
If they are three consecutive integers, then we have:
- B = A + 1
- C = B + 1, which means C = A + 2
- A + B + C = 90
A + (A + 1) + (A + 2) = 90
Combine like terms
3A + 3 = 90
Using our equation calculator, we get:
A = 29
Which means:
- B = A + 1
- B = 29 + 1
- B = 30
- C = A + 2
- C = 29 + 2
- C = 31
