Question

the sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 48.find out the other number

Answer 1

There are 3 consecutive numbers,

So, 48/3 = 16

so, you get the middle number which is 16

Therefore, 16-1=15 &16+1=17

So the numbers are 15,16,17

Answer 2

X+X+1+X+2=48
3x+3=48
3x=48-3
3x=45
X=45/3
X=15

X+1=15+1=16

X+2=15+2=17

therefore the numbers are 15,16&17
