There are 3 numbers that are consecutive integers. Together they have a sum of 18. What is the largest of the 3 numbers?
Let's be accurate as possible and think first.
7
Let N = smallest number.

N + 1 = next number.

N + 2 = largest number.

N + (N + 1) + (N + 2) = 18.

3N + 3 = 18.

3N = 15.

N = 5.

The largest number is 7.

.

The answer is 7
