Question

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 87. What are the three numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

n, n+1, n+2

n+n+1+n+2= 87

3n+3 = 87

3n = 87-3

3n = 84

n = 84/3

n = 28

n+1 = 28 + 1 = 29

n+2 = 28 + 2 = 30

the three numbers are 28,29,30

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers =

x, (x+1) , (x+2)

so; (X)+(X+1)+(X+2) =87

= x+x+1+x+2= 87

3x+3 = 87

3x =87- 3

3x = 84

x = 84÷3

x= 28

The numbers are :-

x = 28

x+1 = 28 + 1 = 29

x+2 = 28 + 2 = 30

to check the answer 28+29+30 = 87
