Answer 2

☆ Solution ☆

Given :-

• The sum of three consecutive numbers is 69.

To Find :-

• The numbers.

Step-by-Step-Explaination :-

Let,

• The first consecutive number be x.

• The second consecutive number be x + 1 .

• The third consecutive number be x + 2.

So,

According to the question,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 69

3x + 3 = 69

3x = 69 - 3

3x = 66

x = 66/3

x = 22

Thus,

• The value of x is 22.

Now,

• The first consecutive number = x = 22

• The second consecutive number = x + 1 = 22 + 1 = 23

• The second consecutive number = x + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24.

Hence,

The three consecutive numbers are 22, 23 and 24 .
