x=72

Answer 2

Answer:

The three consecutive natural numbers are 72, 73 and 74

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive natural numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2

Their sum is 219

According to the given condition

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 219

→ 3x + 3 = 219

→ 3x = 219 - 3

→ 3x = 216

→ x = $\dfrac{216}{3}$

→ x = 72

∴ 1st natural number → x

→ 72

∴ 2nd natural number → x + 1

→ 72 + 1

→ 73

∴ 3rd natural number → x + 2

→ 72 + 2

→ 74
