Question

If a,b and c are three integers such that a is the successor of b and b is 2 less than c then find a - c?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b+1=a

b=c-2

c-2+1=a

a-c=-1

Answer 2

Answer:

$\bold\red{a-c=-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

a, b and c are 3 integers.

According to Question,

a is the successor of b

=> a = b + 1 ...........(i)

Also,

b is 2 less than c

=> b = c - 2 .............(ii)

From eqn (i),

we get,

=> b = a - 1

Now,

pUtting the value of b in eqn (ii),

we get,

=> a - 1 = c - 2

=> a - c = -2 + 1

=> a - c = -1

Hence,

a - c = -1
