Question

The sum of three consecutive numbers is $66$ .Find the numbers .

Answer 1

Let us take $x$ , $x+1$ and $x+2$ are three consecutive numbers.

According to question ,

$x+\left(x+1\right)+\left(x+2\right)=66$

$\Rightarrow x+x+1+x+2=66$

$\Rightarrow 3x+3=66$

$\Rightarrow 3x=66-3$

$\Rightarrow 3x=63$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{63}{3}$

$\Rightarrow x=21$

Hence, the required three consecutive numbers are $21,22$ and $23$ .
