Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, and it needs additional information before it can be answered.

However, a possible question could be that we generate an equation that has 3 variables and equals 180.

A possible question is:

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 180. What is the highest number?

And the solution is as follows:

Let the three numbers (in order of smallest to greatest) be x, y and z

So, the sum is:


x + y + z = 180

Since the numbers are consecutive, then the following relationship exist:


y = x + 1


x = x + 2

Substitute x + 1 for y and x + 2 for z in
x + y + z = 180


x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 180

Collect Like Terms


x + x + x = 180 - 3


3x = 177

Solve for x


x = 177/3


x = 59

The value of the highest being is:


z = x + 2


z = 59 + 2


z = 61

You can generate as many equation as possible
