Question

the three consecutive natural numbers five times the smallest number is 9 more than four times the greatest number, find the numbers​

Answer 1

Let consecutive Number= x,x+1,,x+2

Greatest is=x+2

Smallest=x

Middle=x+1

a/q

5x=4 (x+2)+9

5x=4x+8+9

5x-4x=8+9

x=17

Smallest =17

Now consecutive numbers=17,18,19

Check

5x=4(x+2)+9

5×17=4(17+2)+9

85=76+9

85=85
