Question

If the sum of three
of three consecutive
numbers is 27, the second number is
​

Answer 1

Given :

• Sum of three consecutive number is 27

To find :

• Second number

Solution :

★ Let the consecutive numbers be x, (x + 1) and (x + 2)

*According to the given condition*

→ x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 27

→ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 27

→ 3x + 3 = 27

→ 3(x + 1) = 27

→ x + 1 = 27/3

→ x + 1 = 9

→ x = 9 - 1 = 8

Hence,

• First number = x = 8
• Second number = (x + 1) = 9
• Third number = (x + 2) = 10

Answer 2

$\bf{\underline{Question:-}}$

If the sum of three

of three consecutive

numbers is 27, the second number is

$\bf{\underline{Given:-}}$

• Sum of e consecutive term is 27

$\bf{\underline{Solution:-}}$

Let,

• The 3 consecutive term = x , x + 1 , x + 2

According to Question

$\sf→ (x) + (x + 1) + ( x+2) = 27$

$\sf → 3x + 3 = 27$

$\sf → 3x = 27 - 3$

$\sf → 3x = 24$

$\sf→ x = 24/3$

$\sf → x = 8$

$\bf{\underline{Hence:-}}$

• The three consecutive term are
• x = 8
• x + 1 = 8 + 1 = 9
• x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
