Answer 2

Hi friend
---------------
Your answer
----------------------

Given that : - Sum of three consecutive numbers is 48.

Let the numbers be x, (x + 1) and (x + 2).

Then,
------------

According to the question,
------------------------------------------
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 48

=> x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 48 [ Removing brackets]

=> 3x + 3 = 48

=> 3x = 48 - 3

=> 3x = 45

=> x = 45/3

=> x = 15

Therefore,
------------------

First number = x = 15

Second number = (x + 1) = (15 + 1) = 16

Third number = (x + 2) = (15 + 2) = 17
