Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

16,17,18

Step-by-step explanation:

let three consecutive numbers be x,x+1,x+2. sum of first two consecutive numbers = x+x+1=2x+1. 2x+1 should be 15 more than x+2. so we can it as a equation i.e 2x+1=x+2+15. 2x -x=15+2-1. x=16. first consecutive number is 16, and second one is x+1=16+1=17. third consecutive number is x+2=16+2=18. hoping this helpful
