Question

The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 153. Frame the linear equation for this statement
Options:
n + 3(n+1) = 153
3n + 1 = 153
3n + 3 = 153
3n + 6 = 153

Answer 1

3n+3=153 that’s the linear equation

Answer 2

To form : linear equation

Given : The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is $153$ .

Solution :

• As per the given data we are given that  sum of three consecutive natural numbers is $153$ .  
• We know that consecutive numbers differ by difference of $1$ .
• Therefore , let , $n , n + 1 , n + 2$  be three consecutive numbers .
• Then according to given condition we represent it as :

         $n + n+ 1 + n + 2 = 153 \\3n + 3 = 153 \\3 ( n + 1) = 153$

Hence , $3 ( n + 1 ) = 153$ is the required linear equation .
