Question

the largest number of three consecutive x-4, and the smallest no is​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

So 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

Answer 2

Answer:

It should be x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanation is similar to what our friend has given in the other answer

However, having x-1 means there are four numbers are present as mentioned in the question whereas only three numbers are present. You can see it for yourself.

(x-4)  (x-3)  (x-2)  (x-1)

1st     2nd   3rd  

Hope it helps
