Question

Consecutive numbers are whole numbers that follow in order such as 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Find three consecutive numbers such that the sum of the first and third is 118.

Answer 1

Answer: 57, 59, 61


Step-by-step explanation:

1st number = x
2nd number = x + 2
3rd number = x + 4

x + x + 4 = 118
2x + 4 = 118
2x = 114
x = 57

x = 57
x + 2 = 59
x + 4 = 61

Answer 2

118/4 = 29.5 see 29.5, 59, 88.5, 118 im pretty sure im right
