Question

Q.5) The largest number of the three consecutive numbers is x + 1. Then,
the smallest number is:
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Commonly the three consecutive numbers are x, x-1, and x+1 so in this x-1 is smallest one.

Explanation--

Largest of consecutive numbers is (x+1).

Largest of consecutive numbers is (x+1).We know that consecutive numbers differ by 1.

Largest of consecutive numbers is (x+1).We know that consecutive numbers differ by 1.So consecutive number before (x+1) is (x+1)−1 i.e x

Largest of consecutive numbers is (x+1).We know that consecutive numbers differ by 1.So consecutive number before (x+1) is (x+1)−1 i.e xSo the 1st number of three consecutive numbers will be (x−1).

Largest of consecutive numbers is (x+1).We know that consecutive numbers differ by 1.So consecutive number before (x+1) is (x+1)−1 i.e xSo the 1st number of three consecutive numbers will be (x−1).We know that (x−1)<x<(x+1)

Largest of consecutive numbers is (x+1).We know that consecutive numbers differ by 1.So consecutive number before (x+1) is (x+1)−1 i.e xSo the 1st number of three consecutive numbers will be (x−1).We know that (x−1)<x<(x+1)So smallest of all consecutive numbers is x−1
