Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive natiral number be x,(x+1), and (x+2)

According to question,

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

⇒x+x+1+x+2=114

⇒3x+3=114

⇒3x=114−3. [ Transposing 3 to RHS]

⇒3x=111

⇒x=111/3 [Dividing both sides by 3]

∴x=37

x+1=37+1=38

And, x+2=37+2=39

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