Question

find three consecutive natural numbers such that the sum of the first and second is 15more than the third​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Required three consecutive natural numbers are 16,17 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x,(x+1),(x+2) are three consecutive natural numbers.

According to the problem given,

The sum of the first and second is 15 more than the third number.

=> x+(x+1)-(x+2)=15

=> x+x+1-x-2=15

=> x-1=15

=> x = 15+1

=> x = 16

Therefore,

Required three consecutive natural numbers are :

x = 16,

x+1 = 16+1 = 17,

x+2 = 16+2 = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

16,17,18

Step-by-step explanation:

let, three consecutive no. be x,x+1,x+2

ATQ,

x+(x+1)=(x+2)+15

2x+1=x+17

x=16

so,no. are 16 ,16+1,16+2

that is 16,17,18
