Question

the sum of three consecutive number is 447 find the three number

Answer 1

x,x+1,x+2=443 solve it

Answer 2

The three numbers are 148,149 and 150

Given : The sum of three consecutive number is 447.

To find : The three numbers.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to determine the three numbers)

Let, the first number = x

The second number = x+1

The third number = x+1+1 = x+2

According to the data mentioned in the question,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 447

3x + 3 = 447

3 (x+1) = 447

x+1 = 447/3

x+1 = 149

x = 149-1

x = 148

First number = x = 148

Second consecutive number = x+1 = 148+1 = 149

Third consecutive number = x+2 = 148+2 = 150

(These will be considered as the final results.)

Hence, the three numbers are 148,149 and 150
