Question

The sum of three consecutive natural number is 114.find the number

Answer 1

let the numbers be x , x+1 , x+2

ATQ

x + x + 1+ x + 2= 114

3x + 3 = 114

3( x + 1 ) = 114

x + 1 = 38

x = 37

the numbers are

37 , 38 , 39

Answer 2

Let the three consecutive natural numbers be x, x+1, x+2
x+x+1+x+2 = 114
3x +3 = 114
3x = 114 - 3
3x = 111
x = 111/3
x = 37
x + 1 = 38
x +2  =39

So the consecutive natural numbers are 37, 38, 39.
