Question

d) Sum of three consecutive numbers is 48.
Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 48$

$3x + 3 = 48$

$3x = 48 - 3$

$3x = 45$

$x = 45 \div 3 = 15$

Answer 2

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• The sum of three consecutive numbers is 48.

To Find :-

• The numbers.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let,

• The first consecutive number be x

• The second consecutive number be x + 1

• The third consecutive number be x + 2

According to the condition,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 48

3x + 3 = 48

3x = 48 - 3

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

Thus,

• First number = x = 15

• Second number = x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

• Third number = x + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

Hence,

The numbers are 15, 16 and 17 .
