Answer» ong>ANSWER: Let the smallest of THREE consecutive number be x, thus other two consecutive numbers be x + 1 and x + 2. As per the statement, sum of these three consecutive numbers is 51. As such x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51 3x + 3 = 51 3x = 51 - 3 3x = 48 x = 48/3 x= 16 The smallest of three consecutive number is 16. Other two numbers are x + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17 x + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18 Thus three consecutive numbers are 16, 17 and 18Let US check the correctness of answer by taking the sum of derived numbers, which should be 51. 16 + 17 + 18 = 51 51 = 51 HOPE THIS HELPS....
