Question

sum of three consecutive numbers is 24 , find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first consecutive number be x . Then, second consecutive number be x+1

and third consecutive number be x + 2

according to your question,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24

or 3x + 3 = 24

or 3x = 24 - 3

or 3x = 21

or x = 21/3

or x = 7

Therefore, 1st no. = x = 7

2nd no. = x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8

3rd no. = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

Answer 2

ANSWER: 7,8 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x, x+1 & x+2

Now, x+x+1+x+2=24

3x+3=24

3x=24-3

3x=21

x=21/3

x=7

1st no.=7

2nd no.=7+1=8

3rd no.=7+2=9
