Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Numbers are 16,17,18

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
