What is the greatest of 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 27 ? Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 6 B) 7 C) 8 D) 9 E) 11
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= 27;   =&gt; 3n = 27;   =&gt; n = 9   The greatest of the three numbers is therefore   9 + 2=
