of the three consecutive natural numbers five times the smallest number is 20 more than three times of the greatest number find the third number​

Answer»

Answer:

The third NUMBER is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive natural numbers be

x , x + 1 , x + 2

here x is SMALLEST number and

x + 2 is the greatest number

Condition given:

5x = 3(x + 2) + 20

5x = 3x + 6 + 20

5x - 3x = 26

2x = 26

x = 13

Therefore third number = x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15

Hence the answer is 15.
