Three consecutive natural numbers have a sum of 36. What is the greatest number?
2 answers:
It's 12 because if you divide 36 by 3 (consecutive) it equals 12
If you have three of them, they go in order: 2, 3, 4 and so on.
<span>If the lowest is X then the next two are x + 1 and x + 2. </span>
<span>Though the question asks you to look for the highest, so I'll call that x, so the other two become "x - 1" and x - 2</span>
<span>So if we add them up to get 36, we get: </span>
<span>x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) = 36 </span>
<span>Solving for x: </span>
<span>3x - 3 = 36 </span>
<span>3x = 39 </span>
<span>x = 13 </span>
