Question

the sum of the three consecutive natural numbers is 504. find the numbers​

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

Let the three consecutive no. be x,x+1,x+2.

As it given that,

The sum of the three consecutive no. is 504.

Therefore,

x+x+1+x+2 = 504

3x+3 = 504

3x = 504-3

3x = 501

x = 501/3

x = 167

Therefore,

The three numbers are-

1st no. - 167

2nd no. - 167+1

=> 168

3rd no. - 167+2

=> 169
