The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 1251 find the numbers

Numbers are 416, 417 and 418

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let the numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2. Given that their sum is 1251.

⇒ x  + x + 1 + x + 2 = 1251

⇒ 3x + 3 = 1251

⇒ 3x = 1248

⇒ x = 416

Step 2:

Find the other numbers.

⇒ x + 1 = 417 and x + 2 = 418

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=
