Question

The sum of 3 consecutive natural no is 24 .Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE THREE CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS BE : X, X+1,X+2

GIVEN THEIR SUM = 24

THAT IS:

X+(X+1)+(X+2)=24

3X+3 = 24

3X= 24-3

3X= 21

X=21/3

X = 7

THEREFORE THE NUMBERS ARE:

X = 7

X+1 = 8

X+2 = 9.

HOPE THIS HELPS.

Answer 2

Answer:

7,8,9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ‘x’ be the smallest number

Therefore the three numbers are x , x+1, x+2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 24

3x + 3 = 24

3x = 24 - 3

x = 21/3

x = 7

So the numbers are,

7 , 8 , 9
