Question

the sum of three positive consecutive positive numbers is 24​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

Then second number be x+1

Then the third number be x+2

According to the question,

the sum of the three numbers = x+(x+1)+(x+2)=24

=3x+3=24

=3x=24-3

=3x=21

=x=21/3

=x=7

So the numbers are -

x=7

x+1=7+1=8

x+2=7+2=9

the numbers are 7,8,9

Answer 2

Answer:

Three numbers are 7,8,9

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x-1,x,x+1

x-1+x+x+1=24

3x=24

x=8

x-1=7;x=8;x+1=9
