Question

Challenging Find three consecutive numbers whose sum is 13,683

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Three consecutive numbers = x, x+1, x+2

So,

x + x + 1 + x+ 2 = 13,683

3x + 3 = 13,683

3x = 13,683 - 3

3x = 13,680

x = 4560

Therefore,

x = 4560

x + 1= 4560 + 1 = 4561

x + 2 = 4560 + 2 = 4562

Answer 2

we need to find three consecutive number whose sum is 13,683

so,

Lets take this three consecutive numbers be x, x+1, x+2=13683

Now,

Adding those three numbers,

$x+(x+1)+(x+2)=13683\\3x+3=13686\\3(x+1)=13683\\x+1=4561\\x=4560$

so, the three consecutive numbers are

x=4560

x+1=4561

x+2=4562
