Question

the last number of 6 consecutive number is 24 what will be the first number of the five

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Now, its said that 3 times number the middle term, so the middle number be 3(x+1)

also said, 3 times number the middle number is greater than the sum of the first and the last number=x+2

A/q,

3(x+1)=x+x+2+176

3x+1=2x+178

3x−2x=178+1

x=179

1stnumber=x=179

2ndnumber=x+1=179+1=180

3rdnumber=x+2=179+2=181

∴ The numbers are 179,180,181
