Given :
- Sum od three consecutive whole numbers is 273
To find :
- The numbers
According to the question,
Let the numbers be x + 1,x + 2 and x + 3
And the sum of these numbers is 273
↦ x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 273
↦ 3x + 6 = 273
↦ 3x = 273 - 6
↦ 3x = 267
↦ x = 267 ÷ 3
.°. x = 89
Value of x + 1 :
↦ x + 1
↦ 89 + 1
↦ 90
_________...
Value of x + 2 :
↦ x + 2
↦ 89 + 2
↦ 91
_________....
Value of x + 3 :
↦ x + 3
↦ 89 + 3
↦ 92

V E R I F I C A T I O N :
↦ x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 273
↦ 3x + 6 = 273
Puttingthe value of x
↦ 3(89) + 6 = 273
↦ 267 + 6 = 273
↦ 273 = 273
.°. L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence,verified..
