    impossible

    Step-by-step explanation:

    X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 56. To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract 3 from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side ...

    3X + 3 = 56. 3X + 3 - 3 = 56 - 3.

    3X = 53. 3X/3 = 53/3.

    X = 17 2/3. Since 17 2/3 is not an integer, there is no true answer to this problem.
