Question

Three consecutive numbers add up to 51. Then what is the number

Answer 1

Let the first no.be x.
Let the second no.be x+1.
Let the third no.be x+2.
X+x+1+x+2= 51
3x+3. =51
3x. = 51-3
X. = 48/3
X. = 16
Therefore, the first no.=x= 16
The second no.=x+1=16+1=17
The third no. =x+2=16+2=18
And.= The three consecutive numbers are 16,17 and 18.

Answer 2

Let the three consecutive integers be x , x + 1 and x + 2

Given :-

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51

3x + 3 = 51

3x =51 - 3

3x = 48

x = 48/3

x = 16

The no:s are 16 , 17 , 18
