Question

Question 8: When three consecutive numbers are added, the sum is 132. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

43,44,45

Step-by-step explanation:

n-1, n, n+1 be the three consecutive numbers.

Given,

Three consecutive numbers are added, the sum is 132

Hence,

(n-1) +n+(n+1) = 132

3n - 1 + 1 = 132

3n = 132

n = 132 / 3

n = 44

Then, n - 1 = 43

n + 1 = 45

Hence the three consecutive numbers are 43,44 and 45.

Hope its helpful.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the three consecutive no. be x

So, A.T.Q.:- x+x+x=132

3x=132

x=132÷3

x=44

So, the first no. is 44

Then other two number is

43&45

44+45+43=132

So, the three consecutive no. are 43,44,45 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider three no. as x
