Question

sum of three consecutive natural numbers is more than 69 and less than 75. find these numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

23, 24 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive numbers be 'x', 'x + 1' and 'x + 2'

Given that:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 > 69

3x + 3 > 69

3x > 66

x > 22

And,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 < 75

3x + 3 < 75

3x < 72

x < 24

Therefore we could conclude that x = 23 [22 < x < 24]

Hence the numbers are:

x = 23

x + 1 = 24 and

x + 2 = 25
