Question

the sum of three consecutive natural number is 93 find the numbers

Answer 1

(n-1)+n +(n+1)=93
3n= 93
n= 31
therefore the numbers are 30,31,32

Answer 2

Define x:

Let one number be x

The other 2 numbers are (x + 1) and ( x + 2)

Form equation and solve x:

The sum is 93

x + ( x + 1) + (x + 2) = 93

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 93

3x + 3 = 93

3x = 90

x = 30

Find the numbers:

first number = x = 30

second number = x + 1 + 30 + 1 = 31

third number = x + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32

Answer: The numbers are 30, 31 and 32
