Three consecutive integers:
Least: x
Middle : x + 1
Greatest: x + 2
Sum of the least and greatest is 60:
(x) + (x+2) = 60
2x + 2 = 60
2x = 60 - 2
2x./2 = 58/2
x = 29
The three consecutive integers are 29, 30, 31.
Least integer, x = 29
Middle, 29 + 1 = 30
Greatest, 29 + 2 = 31
To check the sum of the least and greatest among the three integers:
29 + 31 = 60
60 = 60
