Question

The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 555, find the numbers.

Answer 1

184, 185, 186

Explanation:

If the first number is x, the other numbers are x + 1 and x + 2, therefore we can write:

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 555

3x + 3 = 555

3x = 552

x = 184 so the other numbers are 185 and 186.
