Question

The sum of three consecutive positive numbers is 147. Find the product of the greatest and the

smallest number.

Answer 1

2400 just believe me I’m correct

Answer 2

2400

Explanation:

x+y+z=147

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=147

3x+3=147

3x=144

x=48

The three consecutive positive numbers are 48, 49, and 50.

48 • 50 = 2400
