Question

The sum of three consecutive numbers is
51. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive natural numbers be x, (x + 1) and (x + 2).

According to the question,as it is given above...::

x+(x + 1)+(x + 2)=51

=> 3x + 3 = 51

=> 3x = 51 - 3

=> 3x = 48

=> x = 48 ÷ 3

=> x = 16

(x + 1) = 16 + 1 = 17

(x + 2) = 16 + 2 = 18.

hence the 3 number which we find are 16.17.18

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 16, 17 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Now,

x + x+1 + x+2 = 51

3x + 3 = 51

3x = 48

x = 16

So, the numbers are :

x = 16

x+1 = 16+1 = 17

x+2 = 16+2 = 18
