How can i solve this: Find three Consecutive numbers with a sum of 222?

Answer 1

The consecutive integers could be represented as n-1, n, and n+1, and their sum is 3n. So divide 222 by 3 -- you get 74. So your 3 numbers are 73, 74, and 75.

Answer 2

let the consecutive numbers be x, x +1 and x + 2
therefore

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 222
3x + 3 = 222
3x = 222- 3
3x = 219
x = 219 / 3
x = 73

therefore the consecutive numbers that add up to 222 are 73, 74 and 75.

Answer 3

3 consecutive numbers have the middle number as their average. The middle number is therefore 222/3 or 74. The other numbers are 73 and 75

Answer 4

Divide the dumber by three.

then add one and subtract one from the result.

This will give you three successive numbers that sum up to your original number.

example. 222 / 3 = 74 ( remember this means 74+74+74 = 222)
so 73, 74, 75 The one taken off of 73 is added to 75 so it doesn't change the total

Answer 5

let the consecutive numbers be {x;(x+1);(x+2)}

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=222

x+x+x+3=222

3x=222-3=219

x=219/3=73

so the three consecutive numbers are 73;74;75

Answer 6

You find three numbers that follow one another, 1 2 3, 5 6 7, etc. And add them together. Easiest way is to use guess and check.


ANSWER BELOW


73
74
75
___
222

5+4+3=12
and 7+7+7= 21
you carry the one, and you get 22, and the other 2, and 222.

Answer 7

It is an AP
Let first no. b 'a'
Common difference='d'=1 bcoz they are Consecutive no.
no.of term=n=3
sum of no.= n/2{2a+(n-1)d}
then, 3/2{2a+(3-1)1}=222
then, 1.5{2a+2}=222
then, 3{a+1}=222
then, a+1=222/3
then, a+1=74
a=73
no.s r 73;74;75

Answer 8

Divide it by three, which is 74, add one to it, record this number which is 75 and subtract one from it which gives 73, hence the three consecutive numbers are 73,74,75....HOPE THAT HELPED!!!

Answer 9

three consecutive integers
let x = first integer
let x+1 = second integer
let x+2 = third integer

x+x+1+x+2=222
3x+3=222
3x=219
x=73

x+1=74
x+2=75

answer: 73,74.75

Answer 10

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 222
3x + 3 = 222
3x = 219
x = 73

73, 74 and 75
