Let the three consecutive number be x,x+1 and x+2.
It is given sum of three consecutive numbers is 46.
So,x+x+1+x+2=46
3x+3=46.
Subtracting 3 both sides
3x=46-3
3x=43.
x=
Since is not an integer there is no true answer to this problem.
ANSWER:
b) No
c) Yes
EXPLANATION:
b)
3 (-8 + 1) = 3 x -8 + 3
(3 x -8) (3 x +1) = 3 x -8 + 3 (just put left and right sides into calcu separately)
-72 = -21
Both sides are not equal and therefore it isn't a solution.
c)
3 (0.5 + 1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
(3 x 0.5) (3 x +1) = 3 x 0.5 + 3
4.5 = 4.5
Both sides are equal and thereofre it IS a solution.
