What is the greatest of 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 24 ?  Choose the correct choice from the following:	A) 3	B) 76	C) 8	D) 9	E) 10
Explanation:   The sum of three consecutive integers can be written as n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 3n + 3   If the sum is 24, we need to solve the equation 3n + 3 + (  + 1) + (  + 2)=

3n + 3   If the sum is 24, we need to solve the equation 3n + 3= 24;   =&gt; 3n = 21;   =&gt; n = 7   The greatest of the three numbers is therefore   7 + 2=
