Let x,y,z be those numbers.
x+y+z = 12
Since x,y,z are consecutive: y=x+1, and z = x+2
Let's replace y and z by their new values:
x+x+1+x+2=12
3x+3=12
You subtract 3 from each side to get variables on a side, and numbers on the other:
3x=9
You divide both sides by 3:
x=3

y=x+1 = 3+1 = 4
z=x+2 = 3+2 = 5

So the numbers are 3; 4 and 5.

You can re-check your answers (very important):
3+4+5 = 12
3;4;5 are consecutive numbers.
The answer has been approved.

Hope this Helps! :)

aniked [119]

Answer:

40 students

Step-by-step explanation:

We do not count the counselors or the principal because they are not students, so we do 83 - 3 = 80, now it is just simple division, for every student there is a parent, so we divide 80 in half, 80 / 2 = 40 students :D
