Question

the sum of three consecutive numbers whose sum is 342

Answer 1

Hey dear!

Question:
The sum of three consecutive numbers is 342. Find the numbers.

Answer:

Let the unknown number be x.
Therefore, the consecutive numbers would be x+1 and x+2.

Sum of x, x+1 and x+2 gives 342.

So,
x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 342
3x + 3 = 342
3x = 342 -3
3x = 339
x = 113

Ans: The three consecutive numbers are 113, 114 and 115.

Hope helped!!

Answer 2

the consecutive number is x,x+1,x+2
according to question
x+x+1x+2=342
3x+3=342
3x=342-3
3x=339
x=339/3
x=113
the first consecutive is 113
the second consecutive is 1+113=114
the third consecutive is 2+113=115
