Given :

• Sum of three consecutive numbers is 27

To find :

• Numbers

Solution :

• Let the three consecutive numbers be x , x + 1 x + 2

Sum of three consecutive numbers is 27 so,

》x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 27

》3x + 3 = 27

》3x = 27 - 3

》3x = 24

》x = 24/3

》x = 8

• X = 8
• x + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9
• x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10

So , Three consecutive numbers are 8 , 9 , 10

Verification :

》8 + 9 + 10

》27
