Question

pls pls pls​

Answer 1

3*13=39

3*12=36

39+36=75

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be : x+3,x+6

Sum = 75

x+3+x+6 = 75

2x+9 = 75

2x = 75-9

2x = 66

x = 66/2

x = 33

Therefore,1st consecutive multiple of 3 = x+3

= 33+3

= 36

2nd consecutive multiple of 3 = x+6

= 33+6

= 39

The smaller number out of these two numbers = 36
