Question

The sum of three concicative number is 114 find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

Question:

If the sum of three consecutive numbers is 114 ,then find the numbers.

Solution;

Let the three consecutive numbers be ;

x , (x+1) , (x+2).

{ note that consecutive numbers differ by 1.}

Given that ,

The sum of numbers is 114.

=> x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 114

=> 3x + 3 = 114

=> 3x = 114 - 3

=> 3x = 111

=> x = 111/3

=> x = 37

Thus, the required numbers are:

x , (x+1) , (x+2)

ie. 37 , (37+1) , (37+2)

ie. 37, 38 , 39

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\blue{Answer:}$

Given:

The sum of three consecutive number is 114

To Find:

To find the numbers

Solution:

Let three consecutive numbers be x,

( x + 1 ) and ( x + 2 )

According to the question,

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 114

3x + 3 = 114

3x = 114 - 3

3x = 111

x = 111/3

=> x = 37

Therefore, (x+1) = 37 + 1 = 38

and (x+2) = 37 + 2 = 39

Hence the three consecutive numbers are 37,38 and 39.
