if the sum of 3 consecutive number is 96 find the number
Let the 3 consecutive numbers be:
n
n + 1 and
n + 2
Therefore:
n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 96
3n + 3 = 96
Subtract 3 from each side of the equation.
3n + 3 - 3 = 96 - 3
3n = 93
Divide each side by 3
3n/3 = 93/3
n = 31
n + 1 = 32
n + 2 = 33
Therefore the 3 consecutive numbers are:
31, 32 and 33
