Question

of three consecutive natural number, five time the smallest number is 9 more than 4 times the greatest number, find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consecutive Number= x , x + 1 , x + 2

Greatest is = x + 2

Smallest = x

Middle = x + 1

5x = 4 (x+2) + 9

5x = 4x + 8 + 9

5x - 4x = 8 + 9

x = 17

Smallest = 17

Now consecutive numbers = 17 , 18 , 19

Answer 2

Answer:

Let 3 consecutive natural number be x, x+1, x+2

AS PER QUESTION,

            9+4(x+2)=5x

or,     9+4x+8=5x

or,     17=5x-4x

or,     x=17

        x+1=18

        x+2=19

SO, THE NUMBERS ARE-   17 ,18, 19

YOU GOT IT!.
