Tick $(\checkmark)$ the correct answer:
Sum of three consecutive integers is $51.$ The middle one is:
  • A
    $14$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $16$
  • $17$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$17$

Let the three consecutive integers be $x, x + 1$ and $x + 2.$
Equation $= \text{x} + \text{x} + 1 + \text{x} + 2 = 51$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x} + 3 = 51$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x} = 51 - 3$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x} = 48$
$\Rightarrow\text{x} = \frac{48}{3}= 16$
Middle integer $= \text{x}+1 = 16 + 1 = 17$
