Question

Find three consecutive numbers whose sum shall equal 45.​

Answer 1

the three consecutive numbers are 14, 15, 16

Answer 2

Since the consecutive numbers, so the first one is x, the next one is x+1, and so on....I hope this will help

Explanation:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 45

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 45

3x + 3 = 45

3x = 42

x = 14

Now that we know x = 14, let's add one to it.

x + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15.

Now we have our middle number, which is 15. You can always check your answer by adding 14 + 15 + 16 = 45. Whoo!
