Question

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 498. What is the 3rd number?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mo. be

x , x + 1 and x + 2

ACT,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 468

3x + 3 = 468

3x = 468 - 3

x = 465 / 3

x = 155

⁂ x = 155

⁂ x + 1 = 155 + 1 = 156

⁂ x + 2 = 155 + 2 = 157

Explanation:

Given :

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 498.

To Find :

What is the 3rd number?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Let the first consecutive number be 'x'

Second consecutive number be 'x+1'

Third consecutive number be 'x+2'

Now adding all Because Question said sum of all consecutive number is 498

$x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 498$

$= > 3x + 3 = 498$

$= > 3x = 495$

$= > x = \frac{495}{3} = 165$

Hence ,the first consecutive number is$\bold{\red{ 165}}$

second consecutive number is 165+1=$\bold{\purple{166}}$

Third consecutive number is =>165+2=$\bold{\blue{167}}$

Check :-

$165 + 166 + 167 = 498$
