Question 88954
RE-CHECK YOUR PROBLEM.  SOMETHING'S WRONG (AND IT COULD BE ME BUT I DOUBT IT)

Let x=the hundreds digit
Then x+1=the tens digit
And x+2=the ones digit

Now we are told that:

x+x+1+x+2=17  collect like terms
3x+3=17  subtract 3 from both sides

3x+3-3=17-3 collect like terms

3x=14  divide both sides by 3

x=4.666667 ??????????????????????????


Something's wrong.  x should be a whole number.

If the sum was 18 instead of 17, then the problem has a solution (567)
x=5
x+1=6
x+2=7

5+6+7=18
18-18

Hope this helps----ptaylor
