Question

Find three consecutive numbers whose sum shall equal 45​

Answer 1

Answer:

14 , 15 , 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x-1 , x , x+1 .

Then by the given condition ,

(x-1) + x + (x+1) = 45

3x = 45

x = 15

So , the numbers are (15-1) , 15 , (15+1) ; i.e. 14 , 15 , 16 .

Answer 2

The three numbers are 14,15and16.

Let three consecutive numbers be x,x+1andx+2.

Then, According to question,

x+x+1x+2=45

3x+3=45

3x=45-3

3x=42

x=42/3

x=14

Three numbers are

x=14

x+1=14+1=15

x+2=14+2=16

the three consecutive numbers whose sum shall equal 45 are 14,15and16.
