Three consecutive numbers ad up to 192. What are the three numbers? (x is the first, x+1 is second & x+2 is third. Write equation, use to solve problem.)

Question

Show working please :) thank you.

Answer 1

You've basically already written the equation...

 

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 192

 

3x + 3 = 192

 

3x = 189

 

x = 189/3

 

x = 63

x+1 = 64

x + 2 = 65
