Question

4. Find the number. 5. The sum of three consecutive numbers is 24. Find the numbers. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the three consecutive integers be x,x+1 and x+2.

It is given that the sum of the integers is 24, therefore, we have:

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=24

⇒x+x+1+x+2=24

⇒3x+3=24

⇒3x=24−3

⇒3x=21

⇒x=

3

21

⇒x=7

x+1=7+1=8 and

x+2=7+2=9

Answer 2

Answer:

Thus the numbers are 7 , 8 , 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first consecutive number be x . Then, second consecutive number be x+1 and third consecutive number be

x + 2

→ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24

→ 3x + 3 = 24

→ 3x = 24 - 3

→ 3x = 21

→ x = 21/3

→ x = 7

Therefore, 1st no. = x = 7

2nd no. = x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8

3rd no. = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
