Answer: [tex]31[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive integers are integers that follow each other in order.

Let the numbers be :

[tex]x, x+1 , x + 2[/tex]

Then , their sum implies

[tex]x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 90[/tex]

[tex]3x + 3 = 90[/tex]

subtract 3 from both sides

[tex]3x = 90 - 3[/tex]

[tex]3x = 87[/tex]

divide through by 3

[tex]x = 29[/tex]

Therefore : the numbers are

[tex]29 , 30 , 31[/tex]

That is , the largest number is [tex]31[/tex]
