Question

what are the three consecutive numbers when added gives a answer which is equal to the answer when they are multiplied

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the question,

2x + 3(x+1) + 4(x+2) = 74

⇒ 2x + 3x +3 + 4x + 8 = 74

⇒ 9x + 11 = 74

⇒ 9x = 74 - 11

\Rightarrow x=\frac{63}{9}⇒x=

9

63

⇒ x = 7

Thus, the numbers are:

x = 7

x+1 = 8

x+2 = 9
