Question

the sum of three consecutive number is 165. what is the sum of largest number and twice the smallest number

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 165.

Let the three numbers be,

(x-2), x and (x+2)

on adding the numbers , we get

3x=165

Therefore, x= 55

x-2=53,

x+2=57

Sum of the largest odd number and twice of smallest odd number among these three integers is,

57+2(53)

57 + 106

=163

Answer 2

Let the numbers be x,x+1,x+2.

x+x+1+x+2=165
3x+3=165
3x=165-3=162
x=162/3=54


The numbers are 54,55,56


Largest number=56
Smallest number=54

The required number=56+2×54
=56+108=164.
