Three consecutive integers have a sum of 30. which equation can be used to find x, the value of the smallest of the three numbers?

The smallest value of the three numbers would be 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, set the smallest number as x. Then you can set each of the next integers as x + 1 and x + 2. Now we can total all three numbers and set equal to 30 to solve for x.

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 30

3x + 3 = 30

3x = 27

x = 9

since proposition states that a number is greater than 25, if is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted

24
