Question

Of the three consecutive natural number,five times the smaller number is more than 9 more than4 times than greater number, find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the three numbers be x-1, x, x+1 { Since they are consecutive natural numbers }

Five Times the smaller number is more than 9, more than 4 times the greater number, i.e

5(x - 1) = 9 + 4(x + 1)

5x - 5 = 9 + 4x + 4

5x - 4x = 9 + 4 + 5

=> x = 18

Hence, the three numbers are

=> x-1, x, x+1

=> 18 - 1, 18,  18+1

=> 17, 18, 19

Hence the three numbers are 17, 18, 19
