5) If the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 33 then what are the numbers?
The first number =
Second number = ----
The third number =
---- + ----- + ---- = 33
--- + ---- = 33
x = ----
Numbers are......
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
The first number = x
Second number = x+2
The third number =x+4
x+x+2+x+4= 33
3x+6= 33
3x= 33-6
3x =27
x=27/3
x=9
Numbers are......x=9,
x+2=9+2=11,
x+4=9+4=13
Answer:
Three consecutive numbers when added = 33
Let the first number be x
So, 1st number = x
2nd number = (x + 1)
3rd number = (x+2)
Forming an equation, we get,
1st number + 2nd number + 3rd number = 33
= x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 33
= 3x + 3 = 33
= 3x = 33 - 3
= 3x = 30
= x =
= x = 10
Therefore, 1st number = x = 10
2nd number = (x + 1) = 10 + 1 = 11
3rd number = (x + 2) = 10 + 2 = 12
Therefore, 1st number = 10
2nd number = 11
3rd number = 12
To verify, 10 + 11 + 12 = 33
Hence found...
