Question

The sum of three consecutive whole numbers is 105. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

The three consecutive numbers are 34, 35, 36

Explanation:

three consecutive numbers: x+(x+1)+(x+2)

x+x+1+x+2= 105

3x+3=105

-3 -3

3x= 102

3x/3= 102/3

34=x

But we also need to find (x+1) and (x+2)

34+1= 35

34+2=36

34+35+36= 105

The three consecutive numbers are 34, 35, 36

Hope this helps!
