Question

Find the sum of three consecutive whole numbers is 108.find the numbers

Answer 1

35, 36, 37

Explanation:

let the 3 consecutive numbers be n , n + 1 and n + 2 , then

n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 108

3n + 3 = 108 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3n = 105 ( divide both sides by 3 )

n = 35

and

n + 1 = 35 + 1 = 36

n + 2 = 35 + 2 = 37

the 3 numbers are 35, 36, 37
