Question

If the sum of 3 consecutive positive integers is 504 find the largest integer

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the three consecutive numbers be x,x+1,x+3

A.T.Q

x+x+1+x+2=504

3x+3=504

3x=504-3

3x=501

x=501÷3

x=167

first number=167

second number=167+1

=168

third number=167+2

=169

so,the largest number is 169
