Question

Find the three consecutive natural number so that their sum will be 60.

Answer 1

let the three consecutive natural numbers be(x+1), (x+2), (x+3) then,
(x+1) + (x+2) +(x+3) = 60
x+1+x+2+x+3 =60
3x + 6 =60
3x =60-6
3x =54
x = 54/3
x =18
hence, the three consecutive natural numbers are (18+1)=19, (18+2)=20, (18+3)=21
check: 19 +20 +21=60

Answer 2

Hi friend,

Let the three consecutive natural numbers be(x+1), (x+2), (x+3).


(x+1) + (x+2) +(x+3) = 60
x+1+x+2+x+3 =60

3x + 6 =60

3x =60-6

3x =54

x = 54/3

x =18

hence, the three consecutive natural numbers are

(18+1)=19,

(18+2)=20,

(18+3)=21

The total value 19+20+21=60.

Hope this helped you a little!!!
