Question

find three consecutive numbers such as the sum of twice the greatest number and thrice the least number is 584

Answer 1

Answer:

116, 117, 118

Step-by-step explanation:

Let smallest of the three consecutive numbers be x.

The other two numbers will be x+1, x+2

2(x+2) + 3x = 584

2x + 4 + 3x = 584

5x = 584 - 4

5x = 580

x = 580/5

x = 116

The three numbers are x, x+1, x+2

∴ The numbers are 116, (116+1), 116+2)

= 116, 117, 118
