Answer 1

Answer:

let the three consecutive nos. be x, x+1, x+2

according to the problem

x+x+1+x+2=234

3x+3=234

3x=231

x=77

The nos. are 77,78,79

Answer 2

Answer:

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

according to the question

x+x+1+x+2=234

3x+3=234

3x=234-3

3x=231

x=3/231

x=77

first consecutive no =x=77

second consecutive no =x+1=77+1=78

third consecutive no =x+2=77+2=79
