Question

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 45 what is the smallest of the three numbers

Answer 1

• Answer:

the smallest of the three numbers is 14

• Explanation:

Hi there !

three consecutive numbers a ; b ; c

b = a + 1

c = a + 2

a + b + c = 45

replace b ; c

a + (a + 1) + (a + 2) = 45

3a = 45 - 3

3a = 42

a = 42 : 3

a = 14

Good luck !
