Question

the aum of three consecutive natural numbers is 1086​

Answer 1

x+y+z=1086
y=x+1
z=x+2
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=1086
combine like terms
3x+3=1086
subtract 3 from both sides to isolate x
3x=1083
divide both sides by 3
x=361
now you know that the first of the three consecutive numbers is 361. so your next 2 numbers are 362 and 363.
361+362+363=1086

Answer 2

Answer:

The numbers are 361, 362 and 363.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 3 numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2.

Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 1086

3x + 3 = 1086

3x = 1083

x = 361
